如题所述
King Chuang of Chu who was in the reign for three years did not issue any orders or execute any government policies. One day the King's war minister (Yòu Sīmǎ) mentioned a riddle (谜语)：“There is a bird resting on the mounds on the south side. For three years it did not flex its wings. Nor did it fly or tweet. It kept quiet. What breed (名堂/品种) is it? " King Chuang replied,“For three years it didn't flex its wings. This is meant for the feather to grow. It didn't fly nor tweet because it wanted to observe the people's code of conduct. Although it didn't fly, it could fly into the cloud in one go. Although it didn't tweet, its tweet could shake the people and the world. Minister. Please relax. I understand your purpose (of mentioning the riddle)." (个人翻译.献丑了).
