　　有人性宽缓，冬日共人围炉，见人裳尾为火所烧，乃曰：“有一事，见之已久，欲言之，恐君性急;不言，恐君伤太多，然则言之是耶，不言之是耶?”人问何事，曰：“火烧君裳。”隧收衣火灭，大怒曰：“见之久，何不早道?”其人曰：“我言君性急，果是。”

　　A Fiery Temper

　　A group of people were sitting around a stove on a wintry day when one man of phlegmatic temperament suddenly announced to one of those present: “I have noticed something going on for some time now, but have hesitated to tell you, since I know you are hot-tempered. Yet should I fail to inform you before long, I fear you may sustain bodily injury. Shall I go ahead and tell you or not?”

　　“Well, be out with it, man!” the hot-tempered fellow exclaimed. Consequently, the first man shouted: “Your robe is on fire, sir!” The victim of the blaze immediately ripped off his own robe and stamped out the flames. Enraged, he cursed the other, saying: “Since you already knew for some time that my clothing was burning, why the devil didn’t you tell me earlier?” “You see!” the first man chortled. “Just as I have said, I knew you’d get angry no matter what I did!”
