（单词翻译:单击）

    In the state of Chu，an aristocrat¹，after offering sacrifices to his ancestors，bestowed² a flask³ of wine on the gentlemen who worked for him．They discussed among themselves．“The wine is not enough for all of us but more than sufficient for one person．Let us each draw a snake on the floor and the one who finishes his drawing first will drink the wine．”
    A man finished his drawing first．He took the wine and was about to drink it when，with the flask in his left hand，he drew with his right hand，saying，“I can even add legs to my snake．”
    Before he finished，another man completed his drawing andsnatched the flask from him．“A snake does not have legs．How could you add legs to it？”
    With these words he drank the wine．The one who added legs to the snake eventually lost his wine．Exercises：
