Two peasants
Once upon a time two peasants attempted to pass each other and their sledges became entangled. One cried, “Get out of my way; I must get to the town as quickly as possible;” and the other said, “You get out of my way; I must get home as quickly as possible.”
Thus for a long time they disputed. A third peasant saw it and said, “If you are in such a hurry, then each of you gives way a little.”
兩個農(nóng)夫
有一次,兩個農(nóng)夫正要交臂而過,他們的雪橇卻勾在一起了。一個農(nóng)夫嚷道:“給我讓路,我要盡快趕到城里去呢。”另一個說:“你給我讓路,我得盡快趕回家去。”
兩人就這樣沒完沒了爭執(zhí)不下。第三個農(nóng)夫看到了說:“既然你們兩人都這么急,那就各自退讓一點吧。”
