An Argument (争论) about the Sun (太阳)
Confucius (孔子) is travelling to the east. He sees two children arguing (争论).
“I think,” says one child, “the sun is near to us at daybreak and far away at noon.” The other thinks that the sun is far away at dawn (黎明) and near at noon. “When the sun appears (出现),” says the child, “it is as big as a wheel (轮子), but at noon it is only like a plate or a bowl. Isn’t it true that objects (物体) far away seem smaller while those nearby seem bigger?”
“When the sun appears,” says the other child, “it is cool, but at noon it is as hot as putting your hand in hot water. Isn’t it true that things nearer to us is hotter and things farther away is cooler?”
