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（僧侣） who lived nearby. He was a hermit（隐士） , 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 comes when the moon wanes（衰退，月亏） from full to new!" The lion said, "Where did you hear such nonsense（胡说，废话） ? Everyone knows the cold comes 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（博学的） 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. [color=Red]The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain united. Unity is best by all means.[/color]"
The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to still be friends.
