Among the Chu people, there was one who was crossing a river, and his sword fell from the boat into the water. He immediately made a mark on his boat and said: "This is whence my sword fell." Stopping the boat, he entered the water at the spot where he marked [the boat] to look for the sword. The boat had already moved, and the sword had not moved. To look for the sword in this way, is it not quite perplexing? <br /> | Among the Chu people, there was one who was crossing a river, and his sword fell from the boat into the water.
