This is a fable of blood-sucking lice that quarreled among themselves over the gains that lay in front of their eyes. The other louse, obviously very astute, reminds us with irony that long-term communal benefits outweigh internal conflicts. At the same time, the story discloses the principle of dialectical transformation.
這段寓言故事寫吸血成性的虱子，為眼前私利而內哄，另外一虱則顯得老謀深算，諷刺長遠的共同利益勝過內部矛盾，同時揭示了矛盾轉化的規律。
