The Two Brothers Quarreling Over a Wild Goose
（兄弟争雁）
In ancient times, two brothers were practicing archery on the grassland. Suddenly, a big wild goose flew across the sky. It flew very low—they could easily shoot it down with a bow and arrow. Both brothers saw it, and they不约而同 got ready to shoot: the arrows were on the bowstrings, just waiting to be released.
Suddenly, the elder brother asked the younger one: “If we shoot this wild goose down, how should we cook it ” Before the younger brother could answer, the elder brother decided: “Boiling it should make it taste delicious!” He was about to pull the bowstring to shoot.
The younger brother quickly stepped forward to stop him and said: “Geese are better when boiled, but I think wild geese should be roasted.” The elder brother disagreed and still insisted on boiling it. The younger brother refused to give in either. Each stuck to his own opinion, and they argued endlessly.
In the end, they couldn’t settle the argument, so they went to a man named She Bo to judge. She Bo was highly respected and had great prestige in the local area—many people went to him to mediate their disputes. After hearing why the two brothers were quarreling over the wild goose, She Bo couldn’t help laughing and said: “This is easy! You shoot the wild goose down first, then boil half of it and roast the other half. That way, both of you are happy!”
The two brothers suddenly realized what they should do. They turned back, ready to pull their bows to find the wild goose—but the wild goose had already flown away without a trace.
Moral
Before even starting to do something, they argued over unrealistic issues. In the end, they only missed the good opportunity. This story tells us that meaningless empty talk is very harmful and a waste of time. What we should advocate is to make quick decisions and do practical things.
兄弟争雁（中文翻译）
古时候，有兄弟二人在草原上练习射箭。突然，一只大大的野雁从天空飞过。它飞得很低 —— 兄弟俩用弓箭很容易就能把它射下来。两人都看到了这只野雁，不约而同地做好了射击准备：箭已经搭在弓弦上，就等着发射了。
突然，哥哥问弟弟：“要是把这只野雁射下来，咱们该怎么煮呢？” 弟弟还没来得及回答，哥哥就自己定了主意：“煮着吃肯定很美味！” 他说着就要拉弓射箭。
弟弟赶紧上前拦住他，说：“大雁煮着吃固然好，但我觉得野雁还是烤着吃更香。” 哥哥不同意，坚持要煮着吃；弟弟也不肯让步。两人各执己见，吵个不停。
最后，他们吵不出结果，就去找一个叫社伯的人评理。社伯在当地很受尊敬，威望很高 —— 很多人遇到纠纷都会找他调解。社伯听完兄弟俩为了一只野雁争吵的原因后，忍不住笑了，说：“这还不简单！你们先把野雁射下来，然后一半煮着吃，一半烤着吃，这样你们俩就都满意了！”
兄弟俩这才恍然大悟，知道该怎么做了。他们转身回去，准备拉弓找那只野雁 —— 可野雁早就飞得无影无踪了。
寓意
还没开始做一件事，就为不切实际的问题争论不休，最后只会错失好机会。这个故事告诉我们：毫无意义的空谈危害很大，还浪费时间。我们应当提倡的是果断决策、踏实做事。
