一猴,一狗,一猪,一马四畜生,商量取一别(㊗)号,又苦胸无点墨,无从着想,遂相约(yuē )进城,遇所见之字,即为别号。约既定,狗(gǒu )遂狂驰以去。入城,至某庙前,见有‘化及(🎦)冥顽’匾(biǎ(👋)n )额,狗曰(🎷):‘此即我别号也!’马(mǎ )继至,昂首无所睹,俯视,见(jiàn )某碑下,有(yǒu )‘根深蒂固(gù )’四字(🐲),马(mǎ )曰:‘我即以为名也。’俄而,猴跳(tià(💢)o )跃亦(🐢)至,举首指‘无偏无党(dǎng )’匾额(💚),曰:‘我即名无偏无党(dǎng )可也(yě )。’俟半日(rì ),猪始姗姗而来,遍觅(mì )无所(🛄)见。三畜(🔆)咸笑之。猪曰:‘若等俱已择定耶?’曰:‘择定矣。’(🔝)猪曰:‘择定盍告我!’众具告之。猪笑曰:‘从来别号不(bú )过两字或(huò )三字,乌有取四字者?’众为之爽然,猪曰:‘(🐒)无伤(🔯)也(🎰),若等盍各摘一字以与我,我得三字之别号,而(ér )若等亦各得三字矣。’
