His son, still working the farm, would look up from time to time and see his father sitting there. “He’s of no use any more,” the son thought to himself, “he doesn’t do anything!” 

One day the son got so angry by this, that he made a wood coffin (棺材), took it over to the porch, and told his father to get in. His father didn’t say anything and climbed inside. After closing the lid, the son took the coffin to the edge of the farm where there was a high cliff (悬崖). 

As he was about dropping, he heard a weak tapping (敲击) on the lid from inside the coffin. He opened it up. Still lying there peacefully, the father looked up at his son. 

“I know you are going to throw me over the cliff, but before you do, may I suggest something?” 

“What is it?” replied the son.
