Chi Hsing-tzu was raising a fighting cock for his

lord. After ten days, the lord asked, " Is he ready? "

Chi answered, " No, sir, he is still vain and flushed

with rage. " Ten days passed, and the prince asked

about the cock. Chi said, " Not yet, sir. He is on the

alert whenever he hears another cock crowing. "

When the prince's inquiry came again, Chi replied,

" Not quite yet, sir. His sense of fighting is still

smoldering within him. " When another ten days

elapsed, Chi said to the lord: " He is almost ready.

Even when he hears another crowing, he shows

no excitement. He now resembles one made of

wood. His qualities are integrated. No cocks are

his match- they will at once ran away from him.

 

- Chuang-tzu
