One day, a man named Mao Kong said to Ai Zi: A duck laid one hundred eggs at one time.
Ai Zi didn’t believe him. Mao Kong added: Maybe there were two ducks.
Ai Zi still didn’t believe him. Mao Kong went on saying: Maybe there were three ducks.
And so he repeatedly changed his words until he increased the number of the ducks to ten. Once again, Ai Zi didn’t believe him.
After a while, Mao Kong told Ai Zi another thing: Last month, a piece of meat which is thirty meters wide and twenty meters long fell down from the sky. Ai Zi didn’t believe it. Mao Kong changed his words again: That’s a twenty-meter-wide and ten-meter-long meat. Ai Zi still didn’t believe him.
Finally, Ai Zi asked Mao Kong: Whose duck is it? And where is the meat?
Mao Kong said: I heard all of them from others.
Then Ai Zi told his students: It’s a bad habit of spreading rumors like Mao Kong.
