Knowing Fish

One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river.
"Look at the fish swimming about," said Chuang Tzu, "They are really enjoying themselves."
"You are not a fish," replied the friend, "So you can't truly know that they are enjoying themselves."
"You are not me," said Chuang Tzu. "So how do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?"

Mengenal Ikan

Pada suatu hari Chuang Tzu dan temannya berjalan menyusuri sungai.
"Lihatlah ikan yang berenang itu," kata Chuang Tzu, "Mereka sungguh bergembira."
"Kamu bukanlah ikan," jawab temannya, "Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa mereka sedang bergembira."
"Kamu bukanlah aku," kata Chuang Tzu. "Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa aku tidak tahu ikan itu sedang bergembira?"
