    Yanzi came to the state of Chu as an ambassador.The men of the state of Chu knew him to be a short man so they specially 1 opened a little door next to the main entrance and asked him to enter.Yanzi refused.“An ambassador to a country of dogs would enter by a dog's door,”he pointed 2 out,“I am now an ambassador to the state of Chu and it is not right for me to enter by this door.”

    The men sent to receive him had to lead him in through the maindoor,instead of going the way they originally intended.When Yanzi called on the king,the king asked him,“Is there no one in the state of Qi?Is that why you are sent to be the ambassador?”

    “In Linzi,the capital city of the state of Qi,”replied Yanzi,“there are over seven thousand households.If everyone stretched out his sleeve,the sun would be blotted 3 out.If everyone wiped off his drops of perspiration,it would be like rain falling.Men in the streets had to rub shoulders with one other,their toes coming up against an other's heels.How could there be no one in the state of Qi?”

    “Then why are you sent as the ambassador?”

    “In appointing ambassadors,”replied Yan zi,“the state of Qi takes into account the sort of the country one is sent to.Able men aresent to states with able rulers.Incompetent 4 men are sent to states with incompetent rulers.I am the most incompetent of all,so I am sent to the state of Chu.”
