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.

Baru sahaja bapanya dikebumikan, bapa saudara sulung merampas tanah, rumah, dan jed perak. Gu Changhe, seorang tukang kayu miskin, berpindah ke pondok buruk yang bocor bersama ibunya, tetapi berkeras mahu mencatatkan sebuah basin tembaga yang sumbing ke dalam perjanjian pembahagian harta keluarga. Saudara-mara mentertawakannya kerana bodoh, malah ibunya sendiri tidak faham mengapa dia memilih barang terbuang ini. Pada malam berpindah, air hujan membocori seluruh rumah, tetapi basin tembaga penadah air telah bertukar tempat, dan tiada sepicing air pun di dasar basin itu. Sejak itu, Gu Changhe menyimpan basin tersebut di rumah dan tidak membenarkan sesiapa pun menyentuhnya. Orang luar hanya tahu bahawa dia mendapat bahagian sebuah basin tembaga yang rosak. Namun lewat malam selepas pintu ditutup, di dalam rumah yang jelas hanya ada ibu dan anak, suara orang ketiga pula kedengaran.
