The Life & Teachings of Zhouzi

Once, when the garden was everywhere full and ready for harvest, the community awoke to find it had been invaded by a murder of crows. Forgoing the assembly, they all ran out to save what they could.

“We have done as we must,” replied Zhouzi, “for the world is thus. And today I was reminded, I am also a crow.”
