　　One of his minister, Chun Yukun (chún yú kūn)who had a good sense of humor, said to him:”There is a big bird which has never taken wing nor sung for three years.Your Highness, may you guess what kind of bird is it?”

　　有一个大臣叫淳于髡，很有幽默感，对齐威王说：“臣听说齐国有一只大鸟，来不飞也不叫，大王知道这是一只什么鸟?”

　　The duke answered, “Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.”

　　(其实淳于髡是暗喻齐威王)齐威王答道：“一旦这只鸟开始飞翔高歌，必然震惊世界。”

　　The duke then devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.

　　从此齐威王勤于朝政，励精图治，国威大振。
