Classical Chinese translation of selling sheep

translate

During the Southern Liang Dynasty, there was a scholar with low intelligence, who was eloquent in debate and didn't understand sheep. Someone gave him a ram, so he tied its neck with a rope and took it to the market to sell. The price is not high, but it has not been sold many times. Everyone in the city knew that he was stupid, so someone brought a macaque in exchange for the ram. When the scholar saw the macaque, he thought it was his original sheep, but he just blamed it for losing its horns and his face changed immediately. I saw the monkey's hands and feet kept on, and only the people in the market broke its horns. But because there is no scar on the monkey's head, it can't be used as proof, so I have to hold back. So he took the macaque home and said, "I have a monster, which can be fat or thin." It used to stink, but now it stinks. I took it into the market many times and didn't sell it for three days in a row. It lost its horn like a locust on its head, and its face became wrinkled like an orange peel. "
