[Translation]

The people of Shuizhou are good at swimming. One day, the river suddenly rose, and five or six people crossed the Xiang River in small boats. When they crossed into the river, the boats broke and they all swam into the water. One of them tried his best to swim but still couldn't swim very far. His companions said, "You know how to swim the best, why are you lagging behind now?" He said: "I have a thousand pennies wrapped around my waist, which is very heavy, so I am lagging behind." The companions said, "Why not throw it away?" He didn't answer, shaking his head. After a while, he was even more tired. The man who had already swum across the river stood on the shore and shouted and shouted, "You are stupid to the extreme, you are smelling to the extreme, you are drowning, what do you want money for?" He shook his head again. So he drowned.
