两个农夫

一日，两位农夫对立而来，正在插身而过时，他们的雪橇既然勾到了一起。有位农夫说道：“快点给我让开，我现在要马上赶到城里去。”另外一位道：“你快点给我让开，我现在必须马上赶回家去。”

两人就这样的争执下没完没了。第三位农夫看到了说：“竟然你们两个人都如此急，那倒不如各自退让一些吧。”

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.”
