The guest ouglit to take away this fan with the following quatrain 



The Hung-fan covers the Hung-tea; 



In the whole world we are one family; 



In the red-flower-pavilion we pledged fraternity; 



We know each other throughout the whole universe.

 quatrain: 



A Hung-cup covers the Hung-tea;

The host places two cups one into the other. In the upper cup is tea, hut none in the 

 lower cup. 



The guest may take away the upper cup , whilst saying this quatrain : 



In the upper pond there is water, in the lower pond there is none- 

 But nobody knows that in the lower pond there is no water. 

 Let us wait till the third month in the spring of next year — 

 A fine and drizzling rain will fall in both the ponds.
