English Original
Bian Zhuangzi saw two tigers fighting over a man and was about to kill them with his sword.
Guan Zhuzi held him back by the sleeve and said, "Wait! Tigers are fierce beasts that see humans as prey. They won't harm the man until their fight is over. They are fighting fiercely now; the smaller one will be killed and the larger one will be injured. Then you only need to kill the wounded tiger. You can save the man and gain the fame of having killed two tigers. Wouldn't that be better?"

卞庄子看见两只老虎为争夺一个人而打斗，便拔出剑准备上前刺杀它们。
馆竖子连忙拉住他的袖子劝阻道：“且慢！老虎是凶残贪婪的野兽，历来把人当作猎物。在它们分出胜负之前，是不会伤害那个人的。现在它们正拼命搏斗，小的那只必死，大的那只也难免受伤。之后你只需去刺杀那只受伤的老虎，就能救出那个人，同时还能获得杀死两只老虎的美名。这样做不是更好吗？”
