There lived in the State of Qi a man who had a very bad memory. While
walking, he would forget to stop; while sleeping, he would forget to rise. His
wife was very much worried about this and said to him one day: "I've heard
that Master Ai is a very learned man with a glib tongue. He can even bring the
dying back to life. Why don't you go and consult him?"
"Good idea!" the man agreed.
So he set out on horseback, bow and arrow in hand. Before he had covered a
distance of 30 li he felt a call of nature. He dismounted and, after sticking
the arrow into the ground and tying the horse to a tree, crouched down to
relieve himself. This done, he stood up and looking to the left caught sight of
the arrow.
"Wow!" he cried. " What a narrow escape! I wonder where that
stray arrow came from. It nearly hit me."
Then, looking to the right, he saw the horse.
"Well, well!" he said with joy. " Though I've been badly
frightened, I'm now rewarded with this windfall of a horse."
Seizing the bridle of the horse, he was about to turn round when he
inadvertently stepped on his own excrement. Stamping his foot, he cried: "
Damn! This pile of dog's dung has soiled my shoe. What a pity!"
Whipping his horse, he galloped off in the wrong direction. Not long
afterwards, he arrived home. Pacing up and down in front of his own house, he
muttered to himself: "Whose house is this? Can this be the residence of
Master Ai?"
At this moment, his wife saw him. Guessing that his memory must have taken
leave of him again, she let loose a torrent of abuse. Very much upset, the man
complained: "I've never seen you before in my life. Why hurl insults at me
like that, lady?"
