Birthday

Today I attended my Grand Aunty (姑 婆) 85th Birrthday Dinner. I took the opportunity to ask her a lot about my great grandfather history. To my surprise my grand Aunt has a very good memories (I mean at her age).

I learned a lot about great grandfather humble experiences and how difficult his early life when he reached Malaya (name of Malaysia back then before independent).

惠 子 渡 河 （Huizi Crosses a River)

I was reading a chinese fables to my daughter yesterday and i came a cross this story about the Huizi Crossing the river.
Huizi was an intelligent statesman from state of Song and he was about to set out on a journey to the another state named Liang.
He was so rush and hurry during his journey until he fell into a river while crossing it. Luckily he was saved by a boatman nearby.
The Boatman asked Huizi, "why are you in such a hurry?"
Huizi replied, " The state of Liang has lost its prime minister. i'm going there to be the prime minister."
The Boatman laughed at Huizi for he could not even cross the river in proper, how can he be a prime minister.
Huizi had a very good reply," Of course Mr.Boatman, I'm of no match for you in handling a boat, but when it comes to ruling the state, you're just an ignorant blind tiger compared with me"

Well what the moral of the story ? : Everyone has his own worth and we must listen to the other party opinions and concerns.

Can you spot the 'Water Mouth' ?
