衡水人王弘义，素无行，尝从邻舍乞瓜，不与，乃告县官瓜田中有白兔。县官使人搜捕，蹂践瓜田立尽。
Wang Hongyi from Hengshui had long been of poor character. He once approached a neighbor to ask for melon, but his neighbor refused. He then went to the county official to report that there were white rabbits in the melon field. The county official sent people to search for them, resulting in the destruction of the melon field.
