The Poor Carpenter's Cornucopia
Just as his father was buried, his eldest uncle took away the fields, house, and silver jade. Gu Changhe, a poor carpenter, moved into a leaky old shed with his mother, yet insisted on writing a chipped bronze basin into the family division agreement. Relatives laughed at him for being foolish, and even his mother did not understand why he stubbornly chose this piece of junk. On the night they moved, rainwater leaked all over the house, but the bronze basin used to catch the water had changed place, and not a single drop of water was at the bottom of the basin. From then on, Gu Changhe kept the basin at home and allowed no one to touch it. Outsiders only knew that he had divided a broken bronze basin. But late at night after the doors were closed, when there were clearly only mother and son in the house, the voice of a third person sounded.

Begitu ayahnya dimakamkan, paman sulung mengambil sawah, rumah, dan batu giok perak. Gu Changhe, seorang tukang kayu miskin, pindah ke gubuk reot yang bocor bersama ibunya, namun bersikeras memasukkan sebuah baskom tembaga yang rompal ke dalam surat perjanjian pembagian harta keluarga. Kerabat menertawakannya karena bodoh, bahkan ibunya pun tidak mengerti mengapa ia bersikeras memilih barang rongsokan ini. Pada malam kepindahan, air hujan merembes memenuhi rumah, tetapi baskom tembaga untuk menampung air telah berpindah tempat, dan tidak ada setetes air pun di dasar baskom. Sejak saat itu, Gu Changhe menyimpan baskom itu di rumah dan tidak mengizinkan siapa pun menyentuhnya. Orang luar hanya tahu bahwa ia mendapat bagian baskom tembaga yang rusak. Namun larut malam setelah pintu ditutup, di rumah yang jelas-jelas hanya ada ibu dan anak, suara orang ketiga justru terdengar.
