Yang Zhu had¹ a younger² brother named Yang Bu. One day Yang Bu went out wearing white clothes. It happened to rain, so he took³ off⁴ his white clothes and changed into black clothes and went home. He dog did⁵ not know that he had changed clothes, so it came⁶ at him barking⁷. Yang Bu got⁸ angry and was about to beat⁹ the dog. At this time Yang Zhu said¹⁰ to him. "Don't beat it. You may also make this kind of mistake¹¹ too. If your dog went out in white, and came back in black, wouldn't you be surprised¹²?" 杨朱有个弟弟叫杨布，穿着白色的衣服出门。 恰好遇上天下雨，他就脱掉白衣穿上黑衣服回家。他的狗不知道是他换了衣服，汪汪叫着扑过来。 杨布怒气冲冲地就要打这条狗，杨朱对他说：“你别打它啦，你也可能犯它这种错误。要是你的狗出去时是白色，回来时却变成了黑色，你会不觉得奇怪吗?”
