《太平广记·卷六十八·女仙十三》
侍卫劝仙女说： 小娘子坐车回去吧，这是个木偶人，不值得跟他说；何况他穷困刻薄只能当作下等鬼了，哪里是神仙的配偶呢？ 
侍卫谏曰： 小娘子回车。此木偶人，不足与语；况穷薄当为下鬼，岂神仙配偶耶？ 
The guard advised the fairy: Little lady, go back by car. He's just a wooden puppet, not worth talking to. Besides, he's poor and mean, only fit to be a petty ghost. How can he be a match for a fairy?
