月亮和風

　　Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a lion and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too young to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their friendship was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly due to the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit , one who lives far away from other people.

　　For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly argument. The tiger said, ;Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon wanes from full to new!; The lion said, ;Where did you hear such nonsense ? Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon waxes from new to full!;

　　The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could convince the other. They could not reach any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They even started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go ask the learned forest monk, who would surely know about such things.

　　Visiting the peaceful hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his answer. ;It can be cold in any phase of the moon, from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold, whether from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is defeated by the other. The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain united. Unity is best by all means.;

　　The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to still be friends.

　　從前，有兩個很好的朋友住在一起在巖石的陰影。這看上去很奇怪，一個是獅子，一個是老虎。他們相識時，他們太年輕，知道獅子和老虎之間的差異。所以他們不認為他們的友誼在所有不尋常的。此外，它是一個山的安靜的一部分，可能是由于影響的一個溫和的森林和尚住在附近。他是一個隱士，住在遠離其他人。

　　由于一些未知的原因，有一天，兩個朋友陷入了愚蠢的爭吵。老虎說，每個人都知道感冒是當月亮會從全新的!獅子說，你在哪里聽過這種胡言亂語嗎?每個人都知道感冒是當月亮從新全!

　　爭論越來越激烈。誰也說服不了誰。他們不可能達成任何結論來解決日益增長的爭議。他們甚至開始叫對方的名字!由于擔心他們的友誼，他們決定去問博學的森林和尚，他肯定知道這樣的事。

　　參觀和平的隱士，獅子和老虎恭敬地鞠了一躬，他把自己的問題。友好的和尚想了一會兒，然后給出他的答案。它可以在任何階段的月亮是冷的，從新到滿月再回到新的了。它帶來了寒冷的風，無論從西或北或東。因此，在某種程度上，你都是對的!你們誰也沒有其他的失敗。最重要的是沒有沖突的生活，保持團結。統一是最好的方法。

　　獅子和老虎感謝聰明的隱士。他們很高興仍然是朋友。
