Mr. Deformed and Mr. One-foot were looking at the mound-graves of the departed
in the wild of Kun-lun,
黃帝 where Huang-Di had entered into his rest.
俄而 Suddenly a tumour began to grow on their left wrists,
which made them look distressed as if they disliked it.
The former said to the other,
?」 'Do you dread it?'
:「'No,' replied he,
'why should I dread it?
Life is a borrowed thing.
The living frame thus borrowed
is but so much dust.
Life and death are like day and night.
And you and I were looking at (the graves of) those who have undergone their change. If my change is coming to me,
?」 why should I dislike it?'
