One day, Zhuang Gong, King of the State of Qi, went out in a chariot to hunt.

　　一天，齊莊公乘車外出打獵。

　　On the way, he saw a small insect raise both its arms, trying to stop the wheels of the chariot. Zhuang Gong of Qi was curious and asked the driver:

　　路上，他看見一只小蟲舉起雙臂，想阻擋車輪前進。齊莊公很好奇，就問車夫：

　　"What kind of insect is it?"

　　“這是什么蟲子？”

　　"It is a mantis," the driver replied promptly. "This kind of insect only knows how to advance but not retreat, blindly underrating its enemies and overrating its own abilities."

　　車夫連忙回答：“這是蝗螂。這種蟲子只知前進，不知后退，盲目輕敵，不自量力?！?/p>

　　Hearing the driver's reply, Zhuang Gong smiled to himself and remained silent.

　　聽了車夫的回答，莊公暗自發笑，默默無語。
