Two people saw a wild goose (大雁) fly overhead. As one of the people placed an arrow (箭) in his hand and aimed it at the goose, he said, “That goose will make a fine stew (炖菜).”
“Stew!” said the other. “It would be far better to roast (烤) it.”
“Stewed!” said the first, putting down his arrow.
“Roasted!” replied the other.
The discussion went on. “Let’s ask our leader to decide the best way to cook that goose.” The leader solved the problem by suggesting that when they caught the goose, half should be stewed and half should be roasted. In that way, everyone’s needs would be met.
The two were happy after they talked to the leader. Then they went out to shoot the wild goose, but by that time, the goose was safely long gone.
