賣瓦盆的小販

　　A peddler 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(阻礙) 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 ."

　　一個小販在路邊賣瓦盆，他一邊敲一邊唱：“瓦盆圓又圓，結實又好看，光聽這聲音，就知不一般。”敲著敲著，“啪啦”一聲，把盆敲爛了。

　　圍觀的人一陣哄笑。他順手把碎片扔進了稻田里，誰知人群中一個老農(nóng)不干了：“你怎么能往我地里扔?這不影響我種田嗎?”

　　賣瓦盆的小販連忙辯解：“不要緊，瓦片見水一會兒就粉了。”
