A peddler（小贩） sold earthen basins in the wayside, he chanted as knocked:" Earthen basin is round, beautiful and solid, judging by the sound, they are all good." At the time of his knocking, that earthen basin was broken into pieces with a crack.
Lookers-on burst into the roars of laughter. He threw the fragments without extra trouble into paddy fiel（稻田） , but an experienced peasant from the crowd did not let him off easily:" How the deuce can you throw them into my field? They'll impede（阻碍） my growing crops!"
The peddler who sold earthen basins tried to explain it away promptly:" Nothing, the fragments will be converted into powder as soon as they absorbed water ."
一个小贩在路边卖瓦盆，他一边敲一边唱：“瓦盆圆又圆，结实又好看，光听这声音，就知不一般。”敲着敲着，“啪啦”一声，把盆敲烂了。
围观的人一阵哄笑。他顺手把碎片扔进了稻田里，谁知人群中一个老农不干了：“你怎么能往我地里扔？这不影响我种田吗？”
卖瓦盆的小贩连忙辩解：“不要紧，瓦片见水一会儿就粉了。”
