The story of Lena the fox, waiting for the rabbit, and following the example

[Idiom Story]:

A river mussel spreads its shell and basks in the sun on the river beach. A sandpiper walked past the mussel and stretched out its beak to peck at the mussel's flesh. The mussel hurriedly closed the two shells and clamped the sandpiper's beak tightly.

The sandpiper tried its best, but could not pull out its beak. The mussels can't get out of it, and they can't go back to the river. The mussels and the sandpiper quarreled.

The sandpiper urn said angrily: If it doesn't rain for a day or two, if there is no water, you can't go back to the river, you will always die! The river mussel also said angrily

If I don't let you go, after a day or two, you won't be able to pull your mouth out, and you won't want to live, you will starve to death! The mussels and the sandpiper quarreled non-stop, and no one let anyone. Then a fisherman happened to pass by and caught them both.

Now it is used as a metaphor for the two sides holding each other, and as a result, both sides lose, allowing the third party to benefit.

The Chinese idiom is yù bàng xiāng zhēng, which means that the two sides are at a standstill, and the third party benefits from it.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits"of the provincial language.

From Qing Xiang Lingzi's "Xuanting Injustice and Crying Tomb".

A mussel is coming out of the water to bask in the sun, and a sandpiper pecks at its flesh, and the mussel closes and clamps the sandpiper's beak. The sandpiper said, 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead mussels.'

The mussel also said to the sandpiper, 'If you can't get out of your mouth today, tomorrow you won't get out of your mouth, and there will be dead sandpipers.' The two refused to give up on each other, and a fisherman caught them together.

"Sandpiper and Clam Fight" tells the story of the sandpiper and the mussel clamping each other, not letting each other go, but allowing the fisherman to profit from it, warning people to weigh the gains and losses in doing things, not to only think about the beneficial side of themselves, to be humble to each other, take a step back and open the sky, blindly clamp each other often take care of one and the other, and let others take advantage of the loopholes.

To be a man, you must learn to be patient, otherwise you will only let the third party benefit from both losses.

"The Farmer and the Serpent" is from Aesop's Fables.

One cold winter, the farmer returning home from the market spotted a snake on the side of the road, thought it was frozen, and put it in his arms. The snake was frightened, and when it was fully awake, it instinctively bit the farmer and finally killed him. Before he died, the farmer said regretfully

I wanted to do good deeds, but I took my own life because of my shallow knowledge, so I suffered this kind of retribution. ”
