Making His Mark (Ke Zhou Qiu Jian)
A man from the State of Chu was crossing the river in the boat. His sword fell into the water because he was not careful. He made a mark on the boat at once. When the boat stopped, he jumped into the water to look for his sword from the mark he made on the boat. The boat moved but the sword did not. I think it is very stupid of him to look for a sword in this way.
