An owl, which had got a putrid rat, (once), when a phoenix went passing overhead, looked up to it and gave an angry scream. Do you wish now, in your possession of the kingdom of Liang, to frighten me with a similar scream ?’ 13.

Howdo you know that I do not know what constitutes the enjoyment of fishes ?’ Hui-3ze said, ‘I am not you; and though indeed I do not fully know you, you certainly are not a fish, and (the argument) is complete against your knowing what constitutes the happiness of fishes. A’wang-jze replied, ‘Let us keep to your original question. You said to me, “ How do you know what constitutes the enjoyment of fishes?” You knew that I knew it, and yet you put your question to me ;—well, I know it (from our enjoying ourselves together) over the Hao.’ * Surely a captious question.
