First Line: There exists one kind of fool

Alternate Author Name(s): Kanzan; Hanshan; Han-shan
Subject(s): Chinese Literature; Deception; Greed; Avarice; Cupidity
There exists one kind of fool
thick-headed as a donkey
although he knows human speech
his greed resembles a pig's
his treachery can't be fathomed
his claims all turn out false
if anybody talks with him
tell him don't stay here
