It was a summer day, the garden was devilishly hot, the grapes were out of reach, and the Raven refused to bring him any of them, unless he asked in French. |
So he just went away from the garden, not knowing if he was a man dreaming that he was a fox, or a fox who had been previously sleeping, and dreaming that he was a man. Some Westerners tell a quite different story about these fox pictures. |

Cochonfucius remarked: "My dear students, please note this. Although this goat is living in a well, he is not offering me a drink of water. Perhaps he knows that, for the time being, I have nothing to offer in return, so he does not want to embarrass me by making me his debtor". | ||||
And for similar reasons, Cochonfucius was unable to buy a piece of cheese from a raven that was near. The Master said: "Cheese is delicious for Westerners, but I am very different from them. Therefore, I prefer not to taste of it". |
Yake Lakang was told about this dream. He remained silent
for a while. Finally, he said: "Most dreams are
random."
