孔子行道而息,马逸,食人之稼,野人取其马。子贡请往说之。毕辞,野人不听。有鄙人始事孔子者,曰:“请往说之。”因谓野人曰:“子不耕于东海,吾不耕于西海也,吾马何得不食子之禾?”其野人大说,相谓曰:“说亦皆如此其辩也,独如向之人!”解马而与之。(选自《吕氏春秋》) Confucius walks in and out, Ma Yi, the cannibals, and the savages take their horses. Zigong please talk about it. Afterwards, the savage did not listen. There are people who started the Confucius and said: “Please talk to them.” “Because the savage squire: ” The child does not plough the East China Sea, I do not plough the West Sea, what does the horse have to eat?“ The savage people said that it is said that: ”The same is true of all arguments.“ (From ”Lu Chunqiu")
