反裘负刍

Once on his outing trip, Wei Wenhou saw a farmer waking with a buddle of firewood on his back and wearing his fur-lined jacket inside out.

 

He asked the farmer, "Why do you wear your jacket inside out, carrying a bundle of wood?" "I like the furs of this jacket very much and I am afraid that the buddle may abrade¹ the furs." The farmer answered.

 

"Don't you know that if the leather is damaged, how could the furs exist?" asked Wei Wenhou surprised.

 

魏文侯在出外游玩途中，看见一个农夫反穿皮袄，毛朝里，皮板朝外，肩上扛着一捆木柴在路上走.

 

就问他：“你为什么要反穿皮袄背柴呢？”农夫说：“我很喜欢这件毛衣的毛，担心柴草把它磨坏了。”

 

魏文侯惊讶地问：“你难道不知道如果皮被磨坏了，毛也不可能存在吗？”
