Cao Chong Weighed an Elephant
A long time ago, there were no elephants in the State of Wei. One day, the king got an elephant as a gift from the State of Wu. People were very happy to see this big animal.
Everyone was excited about it and had a question—how much did it weigh? But there was a problem: How to weigh it? At that time, no scales (秤) could weigh such a large animal. The king had a young son named Cao Chong. He said, "Father, I know how to weigh it." Firstly, nobody believed the boy. But after he told them his idea, they all thought it was a good one.
"Here's what you should do. Follow me,"
the boy said to the ministers(大臣). "Let the elephant stand in a big boat on the water. Draw a line on the side of the boat at the water level(水平面). Then let the elephant get off the boat. Collect a lot of big stones. Put the stones in the boat until the boat falls to the same water level. Then take the stones out of the boat and weigh them one by one. In this way, we can know the weight of the stones. Finally, you can know how much the elephant weighs."
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" shouted the people. Soon everyone in the country knew that the king had a clever son.
