The two halls of Nanquan were disputing over a cat. Seeing this, Nanquan held it up and said: "If you can speak, I will not cut it." The assembly had no answer, so Nanquan cut it in two. Later he brought this up to Zhaozhou. Zhaozhou took off his straw sandals, put them on his head, and walked out. Nanquan said: "Had you been there, you would have saved the cat."
