鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利 Yù bàng xiāngzhēng, yúwēng dě lì
有一天，天气很好。一只河蚌就张开两片硬壳，在河滩上舒服地晒太阳。一只鹬鸟看见河蚌，就想美餐一顿。，于是它飞快地把嘴伸进蚌壳里，狠狠地啄蚌肉。河蚌为了保命，赶紧将硬壳合上，紧紧夹住了鹬的嘴。
One day, the weather was fine. A clam opened his two shells, basking in the beach. A snipe saw the clam and wanted to enjoy it. So he quickly put his beak into the shell. The clam immediately closed his shells and tightly clamped the snipe's beak.
鹬没吃到肉，反倒被夹住了嘴，怎么也拔不出来。河蚌也不能回到河里。它们就争吵起来，鹬说："一天、两天不下雨，你回不到河里，迟早会干死的。"河蚌不服气，说道："一天、两天拔不出嘴，你不能吃东西，早晚也得饿死。"
The snipe did not have the clam meat, but to be clamped. And the clam could not go back to the river. They began to quarrel. The snipe said, "Today does not rain and tomorrow won't either. You'll be dry to death if you do not return to the river". The clam said, "You will starve to death if you do not pull out your mouth and eat".
鹬和河蚌在沙滩上僵持了很长时间，它们都很累了，可谁也不肯让步。这时有个渔翁正好路过这里，看见它们夹在一起不能动，就哈哈大笑起来，把它们一起捉回家了。
The snipe and clam refused to budge in the beach for a long time. They both were tired, but neither of them wanted to give in. There was a fisherman walking by at the same time. When he saw the snip and clam could not move, he laughed and caught them back home.
