一猴,一狗,一猪,一马四畜生,商量取一别号,又苦胸无点墨(mò ),无从着想(🐴),遂相约(yuē )进城,遇所(suǒ )见之字,即为别号。约既定,狗遂(🍦)狂驰以去。入城,至某庙前,见有‘化及冥顽’匾额,狗曰:‘此即我别(bié )号(😧)也(yě(👬) )!’马继(🔳)至,昂首(🍕)(shǒu )无所睹,俯视,见某碑下(xià ),有‘根深蒂固’四字,马曰(yuē ):(🌁)‘我即以为名也。’俄而(💦)(ér ),猴跳跃亦(✖)至,举(jǔ )首指‘无偏无党’匾额,曰:‘我即名无(wú )偏无党可也。’俟半日,猪始姗姗(shān )而来(lái ),遍觅无所见。三畜(🤴)(chù(🤧) )咸笑之(zhī )。猪曰:‘若等俱已择定耶?’曰:‘择定矣。’猪(zhū )曰:‘择定(dìng )盍告我!’众具告之(zhī )。猪笑曰:‘(🧟)从来别号不过(🈺)两字(zì )或三字,乌有取四字者?’众为之爽然,猪曰:‘无伤也,若等盍各摘一字以(yǐ )与(💣)我,我得三字之(zhī )别(👷)号,而若等亦(yì )各得三字矣。’
