12. Hui-3ze being a minister of state in Liang’, Kwang-3ze went to see him. Some one had told Hui3ze that Awang-sze was come with a wish to supersede him in his office, on which he was afraid, and instituted a search for the stranger all over the kingdom for three days and three nights. (After this) Kwang-3ze went and saw him, and said, ‘There is in the south a bird, called “ the Young Phoenix *;” —do you knowit? Starting from the South Sea, it flies to the Northern; never resting but on the bignonia‘, never eating but the fruit of the melia azederach 4, and never drinking but from the purest springs. 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. Kwang-jze and Hui-jze were walking on the dam over the Héo®, when the former said, ‘These thryssas come out, and play about at their ease ;—that is the enjoyment of fishes.’ The other said, ‘You are not a fish; how do you know what
* Another name for Wei, so called from its capital;—in the present department of Khdai-fang.

Thunberg.
* All the editions I have seen give 1H here, which makes no sense. The character should doubtless be Hii, with the meaning which I have given; and not ‘bamboo,’ which is found in the critics. It is also called ‘the Pride of India.’ 5 A river in the department and district of Fung-yang, An-hui.

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. We infer the feelings of other creatures from their demonstrations.
