Once upon a time, two peasants attempted to pass each other, and their sledges became entangled.
One cried, "Give me room; I must get to town as quickly as possible."
The other said, "You give me room; I must get home as quickly as possible."
Thus, for a long time, they disputed.
A third peasant saw this and said, "If you are in such a hurry, then each of you give way a little."
