Therefore when the P’eng rises ninety thousand li, he must have the wind under him like that. If wind is not piled up deep enough, it won’t have the strength to bear up great wings. But set the cup there and it will stick fast, for the water is too shallow and the boat too large. Pour a cup of water into a hollow in the floor and bits of trash will sail on it like boats. If water is not piled up deep enough, it won’t have the strength to bear up a big boat. Is that its real color, or is it because it is so far away and has no end?
