鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利: a snipe pecks at a clam, the clam clamps its beak, neither lets go, and a fisherman walks off with both. Said when two sides fight and a third profits.
history
In 柳宗元's poem the old fisherman sleeps by the western cliff, and at dawn, with one creak of his oar, 欸乃一声山水绿, 'the hills and waters turn green'.
