一猴,一狗,一猪,一马四畜生(shēng ),商量取一别号(🦃),又苦胸无点墨,无从着想,遂相约(🔫)(yuē )进城,遇所见之字,即为别号。约既定,狗遂狂驰以去。入城,至(zhì )某(mǒu )庙前,见有(yǒu )‘化及冥顽’匾额,狗曰:‘此即(jí )我别号也!’马继至,昂首无所睹,俯视,见某碑下,有‘根深蒂固(🕞)’四字,马曰:‘我即以为名也。’俄而,猴跳跃(📄)亦至,举首指‘无偏无党(dǎng )’匾额(🗽),曰:‘我即名无偏(piān )无(wú )党(dǎng )可也。’(🤖)俟半日,猪(🏅)始(shǐ )姗姗而来,遍觅无所见。三畜咸笑之。猪曰:‘若等俱已择定耶?’曰:‘择定矣。’猪(zhū )曰:‘择定盍告我!’(🥣)众具告之。猪笑曰:‘从来别号不过两字(👩)或三字,乌有取四字者?’(🏴)众为之爽(shuǎng )然,猪(zhū )曰:‘无伤也,若等(děng )盍各摘一字以(🏫)(yǐ )与(yǔ )我,我得三字(😻)(zì )之别号(hào ),而若(ruò )等亦各(gè )得三(sān )字(zì )矣。’
