English Original
Two men lived at the eastern and western ends of the capital of the State of Qi, respectively. Both were fond of boasting about their bravery.
One day, they met by chance on the road and went to a tavern to drink together. After a few cups, one said, "We should have some meat to go with our wine!" The other replied, "You have plenty of flesh on your body, and so do I. Why look elsewhere?"
They both thought this made perfect sense. So they prepared the condiments, drew their knives, cut the flesh from their own bodies, and ate it. They continued until they both lay dead on the ground.

在齐国都城的东头和西头，各自住着一个人。两人都喜欢夸耀自己勇敢。
一天，他们偶然在路上相遇，便一同去酒馆喝酒。几杯下肚后，一人说：“弄点肉来下酒才好！”另一人答道：“你身上有的是肉，我身上也有的是肉，何必另找？”
两人都觉得此言有理。于是他们备好调料，拔出刀来，割下自己身上的肉蘸着吃。他们一直吃到倒地身亡为止。
