一猴(hóu ),一狗(gǒu ),一猪,一马四畜生(shēng ),商量取一别号,又苦胸无点墨,无从着(zhe )想,遂(🍔)相约进城,遇所见之字,即为别号。约既定,狗遂狂驰以去。入城,至(zhì )某庙前,见有‘化及冥(míng )顽’匾额,狗曰:‘此即我别号也!’马继至,昂首无所睹,俯视,见(🍘)某(🐹)(mǒu )碑下,有‘根深蒂固’四字,马曰:‘我即以为(wéi )名也(👿)。’俄而,猴跳跃(📐)亦至,举首指‘无偏无(wú )党’匾额(🏧),曰:‘我即(jí )名无偏无党可也。’俟半(bà(⚾)n )日(rì ),猪始姗姗而来,遍(biàn )觅无所见。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(gào )之。猪笑曰:‘从来别(🍝)号不过两字或三字(zì ),乌有取四字者?’众为之(🏢)爽然(rán ),猪曰:‘无(📺)伤(shāng )也,若等(děng )盍各摘一字以与我,我得三字之别号,而若等亦各得三(sān )字矣(yǐ )。’
