鱼乐（彩墨）
濠上有两个人双手趴在拱桥的护栏上欣赏濠里的游鱼。不知何故，他们俩开始争论鱼是否快乐的问题，一个说鱼很快乐，一个不以为然。最后讲输的那个开始抓对方的语病，一味地强辩，无论如何，他要辩赢。
其实，鱼快乐不快乐，问鱼就知道。如果鱼不回答，我们也可以代答：（一）水干净且无农药污染吗？（二）动不动就用钓饵鱼钩伺候吗？（三）每天在桥上走动，不但大声讲话，还为了鱼是否快乐的问题争论不休，鱼看见人影，躲都躲不及了，又怎么能够快乐起来呢。
Fishes’ Joy / ink and color painting
Above the ditch, two people are hunched over the railing of the arched bridge, appreciating the fishes swimming in the water below. For some reason, the two people begin to argue about whether the fish are happy. One believes that the fish are happy, and the other disagrees. Finally, the person losing the argument starts finding fault with the other person’s words. They continue to bicker, and each is determined to win the dispute.
Actually, we merely have to ask the fish to find out whether they are happy or unhappy. If the fish do not answer, we can answer on their behalf: (1) Is the water clean and free from pesticides and other pollutants? (2) Are people constantly fishing using bait? (3) If people walk on the bridge every day, and not only talk loudly, but also argue incessantly about the question of whether fish are happy or not, the fish will see the people’s forms, and won’t be able to hide; in this situation, how can the fish be happy? ＠
