At that time, a man good at archery happened to pass by and heard their dialogue. He said:

"You are both wrong. One cannot shoot an arrow without a bow; and without an arrow, how can one hit the target?"

Another man bragged about his arrow:"There is no arrow better than而ne. It doesn't need any bow!"

In the past, a man bragged about his bow: "There is no bow better than mine. It doesn't need any arrow!"

Thereupon, the man good at archery asked them to take out their bow and arrow. Then he showed them how to shoot at the target with a bow and an arrow.

Now they understood: A bow won't do without an arrow; nor an arrow without a bow. They complement each other.
