Yilin Verse

釋然遠咎,避患害早。田獲三狐,以貝為寶。

Leaving the boat and stepping ashore just as the waves arrive; folding the umbrella and entering the door just as the rain pours. Finding lost gold on the road and returning it to its owner — the owner rewards with fine farmland.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
