An aggressive man and an indifferent man arguing about whether the fish in the water are happy.

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Walking on the bridge above the flowing stream, Zhuangzi and Huizi, lost in a dream. Zhuangzi says, "See how the minnows play, That's their joy in the light of day." (Verse 2) "But you're not a fish," Huizi declares, "How can you know what happiness shares?" Zhuangzi laughs, "You're not me, So how can you know what I see?" (Verse 3) Huizi retorts, "I'm not you, it's true, So I can't know your point of view. And since you're not a fish, you see, You can't know their joy, that's plain to me." (Verse 4) Zhuangzi quips, "Let's go back, my friend, Your argument's got a bend. You assumed I knew, so why inquire? I see their joy by the water's side." （end）
