Lady Feng entered a thatched house, and, in the first place, asked Pao-yue and the rest to go out and play. Pao-yue took the hint, and, along with Chin Chung, he led off the servant boys and went to romp all over the place.
the various articles in use among the farmers they had not seen before, with the result that after Pao-yue had inspected them, he thought them all very strange; but he could neither make out their names nor their uses. But among the servant boys, there were those who knew, and they explained to them, one after another, what they were called, as well as what they were for. As Pao-yue, after this explanation, nodded his head; It isnt strange, he said, that an old writer has this line in his poetical works, Who can realise that the food in a bowl is, grain by grain, all the fruit of labour. This is indeed so! As he spoke, they had come into another house; and at the sight of a spinning wheel on a stove-bed, they thought it still more strange and wonderful, but the servant boys again told them that it was used for spinning the yarn to weave cloth with, and Pao-yue speedily jumping on to the stove-bed, set to work turning the wheel for the sake of fun, when a village lass of about seventeen or eighteen years of age came forward, and asked them not to meddle with it and spoil it.
the servant boys promptly stopped her interference; but Pao-yue himself desisted, as he added: Its because I hadnt seen one before that I came to try it for fun.
