A wise man was walking from one town to another with a few of his followers, and they happened to pass a lake. So they stopped there to 1for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, “I am very 2. Could you please 3 me some water from the lake?”
The follower walked to the lake4the wise man requested. Some people were washing clothes in the water, and right at that moment, several carts (手推车) started crossing the lake. 5, the water became very muddy.

After they had rested for about half an hour, the wise man again asked the 7 follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. As requested, the follower went to the lake. This time he found that all the mud had 8 to the bottom. The water was very 9 and looked fit to drink. So he 10his water bottle and took it to the wise man.
The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. “See what you did 11 the water clean?” he said. “You let it be for a while and the mud settled down on its own,12 you could get some clear drinking water.
