　　Once there were both father and son who were ill-tempered(坏脾气) and never gave way to others. One day the father decided to invite some guests to dinner in his house. He sent his son to buy some meat in town.

　　After he got what he wanted the son turned back and walked towards the town gate. Just then a man was coming from the outside. Being narrow the gate couldn't let two men in and out at the same time. But neither of them would give way to the other. They stood straight face to face inside the gate minute after minute. However it worried the father.

　　“What shall I do?…He hasn't yet returned home. But I can't wait any more.”He was eager to know what on earth was the matter with his son. Leaving the guests at home he himself went to town to look for his son. When he caught sight of the array(架势) between his son and the other man he said to his son “You may first take the meat home to entertain(招待) the guests. Let me stand here against him instead of you.”
