　　马棚里什么事最难做

　　One time Duke Huan of the state of Qi inspected the stable and asked the officer who was in charge of the stable, "What is the most difficult thing to do in a stable?"

　　Before the officer had time to reply, prime minister Guan Zhong picked up the topic and answered, "I once kept horse and I know this well. Binding1 the fence is the most difficult thing to do in a stable. If you use bent2 wood first, then if the first one is bent, the other ones should also be bent ones. Even if there is straight one left, it still cannot be used. If you first use a straight wood, then all the other ones must be straight too. Even if there is not enough straight wood, the bent ones cannot be used instead."

　　齐桓公视察马棚，问负责养马的官吏：“马棚里什么事最难做？”

　　养马的官吏还没来得及回答，相国管仲接过话茬回答说：“我曾经养过马，对这个问题比较清楚。绑扎马棚的栅栏是最难做的活。如果先用弯曲的木头，第一根是弯的，后面的就必须用弯的；即使有直木头剩在那儿，也不可能用上。要是先用直木头，第一根是直的，后面的就全部要用直的，即使木头直的不够用，也不可能用弯曲的木头来补充。”

　　两个连环节

　　A countryman from the state of Lu sent to king Song Yuangong two knots that were difficult to untie1.

　　The king posted a notice to find people with wisdom to undo2 the knots, but nobody could undo them.

　　Later one of Er Shou's students untied3 one of them but could not undo the other one. The student thereupon claimed, "The knot could impossibly be untied." The king sent people to check what he said with the countryman from Lu.

　　The man from Lu said, "He is right. This knot cannot be untied. It was not him that tied this knot. And he can tell that this knot cannot be untied. He surely is more clever than I am."

　　鲁国的一个乡下人送给宋元公两个难以解开的连环结。

　　宋元公张榜招贤，却无人能够解开。

　　儿说一个学生解开了其中的一个，另一个怎么也解不开。这个学生于是断言：“这个绳结根本就不可能解开！”宋元公派人去问连环节的鲁国人这话是否准确。

　　鲁国人回答说：“的确是这样。这个结本来就是一个解不开的死结，我打这个结时，就知道它不可能被解开。说这话的人并没有亲手打这个结，却能看出这是个死结，这人的确比我聪明。”

　　故事二：The old man and woman

　　An old woman became almost totally blind from a disease of the eyes, and, after consulting a doctor, made an agreement with him in the presence of witnesses that she should pay him a high fee if he cured her, while if he failed he was to receive nothing. The doctor accordingly prescribed a course of treatment, and every time he paid her a visit he took away with him some article out of the house, until at last, when he visited her for the last time, and the cure was complete, there was nothing left. When the old woman saw that the house was empty she refused to pay him his fee; and, after repeated refusals on her part, he sued her before the magistrates1 for payment of her debt.

　　On being brought into court she was ready with her defence. "The claimant（原告，索赔人）," said she, "has stated the facts about our agreement correctly. I undertook to pay him a fee if he cured me, and he, on his part, promised to charge nothing if he failed. Now, he says I am cured; but I say that I am blinder than ever, and I can prove what I say. When my eyes were bad I could at any rate see well enough to be aware that my house contained a certain amount of furniture and other things; but now, when according to him I am cured, I am entirely2 unable to see anything there at all."
