《太平广记·卷十三·神仙十三》
大家问他笑什么，他说，东街有辆车翻了，车上的米洒了一地，麻雀们互相招呼要到那里去吃米呢。 
众问其故，答曰： 市东车翻覆米，群雀相呼往食。 
Everyone asked him what he was laughing at, and he said, a car on Dongjie (East Street) flipped over, the rice on the car spilled all over the ground, and the sparrows were telling each other to go there to eat the rice.
