从前,有个人捉到一只鳖(biē),很想把它煮了吃,却又怕别人说他不仁慈(réncí),连鳖都不放过。于是,他就烧了一锅开水,又在开水锅上架了一根很细的竹子做桥。他对那只鳖说:“如果你能够从这桥上爬过去,我就放你一条生路。”他等着鳖掉进水里被烫死,别人问起来就说是鳖自己不小? Once upon a time, an individual caught a biē and wanted to boil it for food, but feared that others would be réncí not even letting go. So, he burned a pot of boiling water, but also in the water pot shelves a very fine bamboo bridge. He said to the turtle: “If you can climb over the bridge, I'll let you go.” He waited until the turtle fell into the water and was burnt to death.
