Between the States of Jin and Guo was the State of Yu.
晋国和虢国的中间,隔着一个虞国。
Once, the State of Jin intended to invade the state of Guo and had to seek for permission to go by way of the State of Yu. The King of Jin was worried that the State of Yu would refuse to consent.
有一次,晋国要去进攻虢国,得向虞国借路,国王担心虞国不答应。
Xun Xi, a high official of the State of Jin, offered his scheme to the King. He said: “If you offer that piece of round jade and that fine steed as gifts to the King of Yu to ask his permission, he is sure to give his consent.”
“The round jade from Chuji is an heirloom from my ancestors. The fine steed from Qudi is a gret favorite of mine. If the King of Yu accepted our gifts, yet would not give us permission, what shall we do then?”:
As the legend goes, during ancient times, in the expansive open county of North China, there was a kind of birds called “rocs”. The roc was very huge, with its back like a big mountain, and its wings like a stretch of cloud which could cover the sky. When it spread its wings, it could break through a storm and soar at a height of 90000 li(1/2 kilometre)in the sky towards the sea in the south.
A small bird called the quail bounced on the ground, free and happy. It looked up at the roc soaring in the sky and couldn’t help laughing. “Hey, see how cocky you are! Look at me, one jump can take me over 10 Chi,, How delightful! Every day I come and go amid these weeds and thickets and fly freely. Don’t I fly quite well too? But, where can you fly to anyway?”
