I will get the city gold, and I will lend you three hundred gold, is that okay?" Zhuang Zhou looked angrily and said, "Zhou came yesterday and called out for the middle way. Zhou looked around and saw that there were squid in the ruts. ．Zhou asked, "What will you do when the squid comes?" He replied, "I am a wave minister in the East China Sea. How can you survive me?" Zhou said, "No!" The kings of Wu and Yue traveled south and stirred up the water of the Xijiang River to welcome their son. "Is it okay?" The fish said angrily, "I have lost my usual place, and I have no place to live because of the rising water." You said this, it would be better to take me to the dead fish house as early as possible!

Zhuang Zhou's family was very poor, so he went to borrow grain from the Marquis of Jianhe. The Marquis of Jianhe said, "Okay! I'm about to collect the tax. After I receive it, I'll lend you three hundred catties, okay?" Zhuang Zhou was so angry that his face changed, and he said, "I came here yesterday, and half of the I heard someone shouting for help on the road. I looked back and saw a crucian carp in the rut. I asked it: "Current carp! Why are you shouting like this?" I'm stuck in this dry rut. Do you have a bucket and a half liter of water to save me?" I said, "Okay, I'm going to the south to lobby the king of Wuyue and ask them to divert the water from the Xijiang River to rescue you, okay? ?" Crucian carp changed his face angrily and said, "I have lost the water I depend on for life, and I can no longer survive. I only ask you to give me a bucket and a half liters of water to survive, but you talk so much nonsense. If you divert the water from the Xijiang River, I will be dead. Why don't you come to the dried fish stall to find me?
