original text
In the Song Dynasty, the Ding family came out to irrigate without a well, and often lived outside. When he and his family went through the well, he told people, "my family got one person to go through the well." Some people who heard about it said, "the Ding family got one person through the well." The country's humanitarianism is known to the emperor of Song Dynasty. The king of song was asked about the Ding family. Ding said to each other, "if you can get an envoy from one person, you have to get one person in the well." If you want to hear it like this, it's not like you don't hear it.
translation
There was a family surnamed Ding in the state of song. There was no well in the family, so they had to go outside to get water to irrigate the land, so there was often a person living outside. When his family drilled a well, he said to others, "I got a man when I drilled a well." When someone heard this, it spread that "the Ding family dug a well and made a man." People in the capital talked about it all the way to the king of song. The king of song sent someone to ask the Ding family. The people of the Ding family replied, "to get one's labor is not to dig one out of the well." It's better to pursue hearing like this than to hear nothing.
