魚之樂

These Fish Are Happy

　　（But How Do You Know That？）

　　By Zhuangzi [Chuang Tze]

　　One day Zhuangzi and Huizi are strolling on Bridge Hao.

　　Zhuangzi ："Look how happy the fish are just swimming around in the river."

　　Huizi ："How do you know they are happy？ You are not a fish."

　　Zhuangzi："And you are not me. How do you know I don't know the fish are happy？"

　　Huizi："Of course I'm not you， and I don't know what you think；

　　But I do know that you're not a fish，

　　and so you couldn't possibly know the fish are happy."

　　Zhuangzi："Look， when you asked me how I knew the fish were happy，

　　you already knew that I knew the fish were happy.

　　I knew it from my feelings standing on this bridge.
