Once upon a time, there was a man who kept an old hen at home. This hen is very capable of laying eggs, but for a while, she never laid eggs and was sick. The man thought it was useless to raise chickens without laying eggs, so he killed them and found that gallstones were the cause of their illness. Gallstones of all sizes are like eggs. When killing chickens, it happened that Xianglin, the quick-talking sister next door, came to visit. When I saw it, I talked nonsense everywhere, saying that this man was short-sighted and killed an old hen who could lay eggs.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who specialized in selling jewelry. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry. For the sake of good business and best-selling jewelry, he specially made many small boxes with precious wood, carved and decorated exquisitely, so that the boxes would emit fragrance, and then put the jewelry in the boxes. A man from Zheng saw that the box containing the orb was exquisite and beautiful. After asking the price, he bought one, opened the box, took out the treasure inside and gave it back to the jeweler. During the Spring and Autumn Period, cockfighting was popular in Qi. There was a man named Kiko who was good at domesticating cockfighting, so the King of Qi ordered him to train cockfighting. After forty days of training, Kiko told the King of Qi: "The cockfighting has been successfully trained. Nowadays, chickens are not proud at all, and they are calm and serene. When they hear other cockfighting, they are not in a hurry or in a hurry. It looks like a woodcarving chicken with all kinds of skills. Those untrained chickens turned around and ran away, and no one dared to fight. " The King of Qi was very satisfied and rewarded Kiko. Humorous joke: the son of a rich family goes to take an exam. His father gave him a test in advance, and he got good grades. He thought he would be admitted, but there was no son's name on the list. Father hurried to the county magistrate for trial. The magistrate turned to look at the scroll and saw a faint mist on it, but there were no words. As soon as dad got home, he scolded, "Why is your paper so ugly?" My son cried and said, "No one grinds ink for me in the examination room, so I have to dip my pen in water and write on the inkstone."
