Chinese saying
by nickel biswas on Sep 29, 2007 12:39 AM   Permalink

There is an old chinese saying:

The chicken said to the pig, let's work together and with a bit of give and take we can both have a good breakfast.

The pig said: "That's a great idea. I'm willing to make some compromise, so we can both enjoy a good meal"

The chicken: "Great. I'll bring the eggs, and you can big the bacon!"

This is what the Chinese mean by negotiation. I give a little, and then demand a LOT in return.
