"Take these fish and put them in the fishpond in the yard."
his servant said, "master, this kind of fish is a rare delicacy. if you put them in the fishpond, the water is not as clear as a mountain stream's, so their flesh will not be as soft, and they will not taste as good. you should eat them right away."
zi chan smiled, "i am the boss here. do as you are told. how could i murder these poor, innocent fish just for the sake of their taste? i couldn't bear to do that."
the servant had to obey orders. as she poured the fish into the pond, she told them, "you sure are lucky fish！ if you had been given to anybody but my master, you would already be cooking in the wok by now！"
