有个主人用藕来招待客人,他把藕梢切下来端出去请客人吃,却把好的那段藕留在了厨房里。此事被客人发现了,便故意对主人说:“我常常读诗,曾经读到过这样的诗句:‘太华峰头玉并莲,开花十丈藕如船。’过去,我一直怀疑这诗写得不真实,哪有像船那么长的藕呢?今天,我才相信这诗句写得真。”主人问他:“为何?”客人说:“你看这藕,藕梢在这里,那一段不是伸到了厨房里吗?” There is a host to use the lotus to entertain the guests, he cut off the lotus root to invite the guests to eat, but that good lotus left in the kitchen. This matter was discovered by the guests, they deliberately said to the host: “I often read poetry, have read such verses: ’Taihua Fengtou jade lotus, flowering lotus lotus such as the ship.’ In the past, I have always suspected This poem is not true, how can there be a long boat like a ship? Today, I did not believe this poem is true. ”The master asks him: “ Why? ”The guest said: “ Lotus shoot here, that period is not reached the kitchen? ”
