Once there was a king who told some of his people to dig a pond (池子).The king then told his people that one person 15 each family had to bring a glass of milk during the night and put it into the pond. So, by the morning, the pond should be 16 of milk.
After 17 the order, everyone went home. As one man prepared his milk, he thought that since everyone was bringing milk, he would just 18 a glass of water and put that into the pond instead. 19 it was dark at night, no one would notice it, so he quickly went and put the water into the pond and 20 home.
In the morning, the king went to visit the pond. To his surprise, the pond was only filled with water! What happened? Yes! Everyone had the same idea 21 that man. They all thought, “I don’t have to waste my milk. Someone else will do it.”
