A superfluous story

A superfluous story There was a nobleman in Chu State who liked to reward his guests with sacrificial wine. One day, he asked the diners to compete in drawing snakes. Whoever finished the drawing first would get a jug of wine. One person finished drawing the snake first, and he happily picked up the jug. He looked around and saw that no one else had done a good job. He couldn't help but feel very proud. He held the wine pot in his left hand and continued to draw the snake in his right hand, saying, "I can add a few more feet to it!" However, before he could finish drawing the feet, another person had already finished drawing the snake. The man snatched the wine and said, "A snake has no legs, how can you add legs to it?" After that, he drank the wine in the pot. The man who painted the snakes feet did not end up drinking.
