Original text:

The Ding family of the Song Dynasty had no well but a drain for irrigation, and often lived alone outside. When his family went through a well, he told people: "I went through the well and got a man." Someone heard about it and spread it: "Ding's went through the well and got a man." The people of the country learned about it and heard about it to the king of Song Dynasty. Song Jun asked people to ask Ding about it, and Ding replied: "To get an envoy from one person, you don't have to get a person in the well." If you want to hear something like this, it is better than not hearing anything.
