　　The same thing happened on the following day. So he spent a second day unhooking his net from sharp thorns. He arrived home only to be greeted by his wife’s sharp tongue！ She complained， “You used to bring home quail to eat， and money from selling quails. Now you return empty-handed. What do you do all day？ You must have another wife somewhere， who is feasting on quail meat at this very moment！”

　　The hunter replied， “Don‘t think such a thing， my darling. These days the quails have become very unified. They act as one， and raise up their necks and carry my net to a thorn bush. But thanks to you， my one and only wife， I know just what to do！ Just as you argue with me， one day they too will argue， as relatives usually do. While they are occupied in confl ict and bickering， I will trap them and bring them back to you. Then you will be pleased with me again. Until then， I 　must be patient.”

　　The hunter had to put up with his wife’s complaints for several more days. Then one morning after being lured by the quail call， it just so happened that one quail accidentally stepped on the head of another. He immediately got angry and squawked at her. She removed her foot from his head and said， “Please don’t be angry with me. Please excuse my mistake.” But he would not listen. Soon both of them were squawking and squawking， and the confl ict got worse and worse！

　　Hearing this bickering getting louder and louder， Quail King said， “There is no advantage in conflict. Continuing it will lead to danger！” But they just wouldn‘t listen.

　　Then Quail King thought， “I’m afraid this silly conflict will keep them from cooperating to raise the net.“ So he commanded that all should escape. His own fl ock fl ew away at once.

　　And it was just in time too！ Suddenly the quail hunter threw his net over the remaining quails. The two arguing quails said to each other， I won‘t hold the net for you.“ Hearing this， even some of the other quails said， ”Why should I hold the net for anyone else？“

　　So the conflict spread like wildfi re. The hunter grabbed all the quails， stuffed them in his baskets， and took them home to his wife. Of course she was overjoyed， and they invited all their friends over for a big quail feast.

　　The moral is： There is safety in unity， and danger in conflict.
