Original text: If someone from Lu holds a long pole and enters the city gate, he will not be able to enter if he holds it upright for the first time. If you hold it horizontally, you will not be able to enter. Nothing comes out of the plan. Then an old father came and said, "I am not a saint, but I have seen a lot of things! Why not cut it in with a saw?" So he cut it off.

Translation: There was a man in the State of Lu who entered the city gate with a long bamboo pole. At first he held it upright and could not enter the city gate. Then he turned around and held the bamboo pole, but he could still enter the city gate. It was true. I can't think of a way to do it. After a while, an old man came here and said: "I am not a sage, but I have seen a lot of things. Why don't you cut the long pole with a saw and enter the city gate?" The man from Lu listened to the old man's advice. The bamboo pole was cut off.
