不識字
山有虎。害人且傷畜。獵人謀捕虎。設阱以伺之以大字書於牆上曰。下有虎阱。行人止步。字既大且箸。鄉人之不識字者過牆下。且歌且行。誤踏虎阱而墮於其中。大呼以求救。既出。人為之識牆上所書之義。鄉人嘆曰。吾若識字。豈至此哉。

There are tigers on the mountain. These tigers harm men and also injure domestic animals. The Hunters plan to trap the tiger. They made a trap and with big characters wrote on the wall saying, underneath is a tiger trap, travelers halt. The characters were not only big but also clear. A certain illiterate countryman passed under the wall, he was singing as he walked. He mistakenly stepped on the tiger trap and fell into the middle of it. He cried aloud in order to seek help. When he got out someone explained for him the meaning of what was written on the wall. The countryman sighing said, If I were able to read would I have come to this?

昨天我看了我第一古文课！我看得懂！这个课叫“吉凶“
