The Ding family in the State of Song did not have their own wells. Someone in the family sometimes has to spend the whole day doing nothing but fetching water from a distance. To solve this problem, they dug a well in the yard.

After the work was finished, they happily said to each other, "It seems that with the sinking of the well, there is another person in our family."

A friend of Ding's heard about it, so he passed the story from one friend to another and then to another until the story became like this: "Ding's family has a well, and there is a man in it!" "

Hearing this, Song Xianggong sent for Ding to ask about it.

Ding said to Qi Huangong, "Your courtiers got help from a man." That doesn't mean I really found a man in the well. "

There was a family named Ding in Song State. Because there is no well at home, it takes a whole day to fetch water from far away every time. In order to solve this problem, they decided to dig a well in the yard by themselves.

When the well was dug, they happily said to everyone, "With this well, there will be an extra labor force in the field, so you don't have to bother to carry water all the way."

One of Ding's friends heard about it and told others. The result spread from one word to ten words, and the first sentence became "Ding Jia dug a well and found a man in it."

When Song Wen learned about this, he sent someone to see Ding and asked what it was. Ding explained to the King of Song: "Digging a well is like having an extra helper for your loyal servant, instead of actually having a person at the bottom of the well."
