从前有条小河旁，
河蚌沙滩晒太阳，
天上飞只凶鹬鸟，
见到河蚌喜得慌，
落下忙把蚌肉啄，
蚌嘴猛合鹬叫嚷：
“你把俺嘴夹住了，
赶快松开疼得慌！”
河蚌紧夹不放松：
“到你死时俺才放！”
鹬鸟性急也发怒：
“三日不雨有死蚌！”
正当双方在争执，
那边过来打鱼郎。
渔夫见状心欢喜，
急走上前捉了双。
这个故事有意义，
朋友切切记心上，
渔人唾手能得利，
只因鹬蚌不相让。
When the Snipe and the Clam Grapple，
It's the Fisherman Who Stands to Benefit
Once upon a time beside a little river，a clam was lying on the sand in the sun。In the sky a snipe was flying over，and he was very pleased when he saw the clam。He abruptly dove down to peck the clam's flesh，and the clam promptly closed his shell and the snipe yelled：“you have clamped my mouth，let it go quickly，it hurts。”
The clam fastened his shells，“I'll not let it go until you are dead！”The snipe was now also very furious。“For three days if there is no rain，there will be a dead clam！”Just as they were holding on，along came a fisherman from a distance。The fisherman was very glad，and he rushed forward to catch both the snipe and the clam。
This story is interesting and meaningful。You must keep it in mind my friend，why the fisherman found it easy to obtain the benefit-It was just because the snipe and clam didn't compromise。
