A wise man was walking from one town to another with a few of his followers, and they happened to pass a lake. So they stopped there to rest for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, "Could you please get me some water from the lake? One of the followers walked to the lake. Some people were washing clothes in the water, and right at that moment, several carts(手推车) started crossing the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy(泥泞的).
Then he went back. and told the wise man that the water was very muddy and not good to drink. After they had rested for about half an hour, the wise man again asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. And the follower went to the lake. This time he found that all the mud had settled to the bottom. The water was very clear and looked good to drink. So he filled his water bottle and took it to the wise man.
The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. “See what you did to make the water clean?" he said.
