old Lu loosened his robe
the young inquirer
anticipated an answer to his question
fetch me a pitcher of water and a jar
old Lu filled the jar to the brim
empty the jar
the questioner did as requested
and poured the water onto the ground,
empty the jar old Lu said again
the young inquirer said he had emptied it
as requested
how do u expect to empty
this jar when you cannot see that it is full?
