Translation
Překlad
When the great sages consulted one another, they saw that the people were in a dangerous position from both directions. When a fire blazes on both ends of a log, the ants in the middle are in a very dangerous situation. Similarly, at that time the people in general were in a dangerous position due to an irresponsible king on one side and thieves and rogues on the other.
Během svých rozhovorů se velcí mudrci shodli na tom, že lidem hrozí nebezpečí ze dvou stran. Když kláda hoří na obou koncích, mravenci uprostřed jsou ve velice nebezpečné situaci. Stejné nebezpečí tehdy hrozilo obyčejným lidem, protože na jedné straně byl nezodpovědný král a na druhé zloději a darebáci.
