Many people consider Bao Zheng a genius(天才)official in Chinese history. One day, Bao Zheng saw a boy crying sadly in the street. He asked the boy what happened. The poor boy told Bao Zheng that he sold fried(油炸的)snacks for a living. Today, he made 100 coins from hard work and was going to buy his sick mother some medicine with the money on his way. As he worked for the whole morning, he felt tired and fell asleep beside a rock. Unfortunately, he found that all his coins in the basket disappeared(消失)when he woke up.
After hearing this, Bao Zheng thought for a moment and said, “I see. Surely, it was this rock that stole your money. I'll question it and help you get your money back.” Everyone around them thought this was very strange and watched excitedly. Bao Zheng said to the rock, “Rock, rock, was it you that stole the child's coins?” The rock didn't reply, of course. Bao Zheng got mad and shouted angrily, “Rock, rock, tell the truth, or I'll beat you!”
The people around laughed and talked secretly, “How can a rock steal money?” “How can a rock speak?” “Everyone says that Bao Zheng is smart, but he looks like a fool to me!” Bao Zheng heard all these and felt very angry, so he shouted at these people, “How dare(敢)you say bad things behind me! Now I'm going to ask for coins from each of you!” Bao Zheng ordered his men to bring him a pot of water, and asked these people to throw their coins into it.
Suddenly, when one man put his coin into the pot, Bao Zheng ordered his men to catch him. “You are the thief!” Bao Zheng continued to explain calmly, “Look! When this man dropped a coin into the pot, some oil floated(漂浮)on the water. Only fried snack sellers carry coins with oil on them, so there is no doubt that this man has stolen the coins from the sleeping child.”
Thanks to Bao Zheng, the boy got his money back. Everyone said that Bao Zheng was so wise.

在中国历史上，很多人认为包拯是一位天才官员。一天，包拯看到一个男孩在街上伤心地哭泣。他询问男孩发生了什么事。这个可怜的男孩告诉包拯，他以卖油炸小吃为生。今天，他辛苦工作赚了100枚铜钱，打算在路上用这笔钱给生病的母亲买药。由于他工作了一上午，感到很累，就在一块石头旁睡着了。不幸的是，当他醒来时，发现篮子里所有的铜钱都不见了。
听到这件事后，包拯思考了一会儿，说道：“我明白了。肯定是这块石头偷了你的钱。我会审问它，帮你把钱找回来。”他们周围的每个人都觉得这很奇怪，兴奋地看着。包拯对石头说：“石头，石头，是你偷了孩子的铜钱吗？”当然，石头没有回应。包拯生气了，愤怒地喊道：“石头，石头，说实话，否则我就打你！”
周围的人笑着私下议论：“石头怎么会偷钱呢？”“石头怎么会说话呢？”“大家都说包拯很聪明，但在我看来他就像个傻瓜！”包拯听到了这些话，感到非常生气，于是他对这些人喊道：“你们怎么敢在我背后说坏话！现在我要向你们每个人要一枚铜钱！”包拯命令手下给他拿一壶水来，并让这些人把他们的铜钱扔进水里。
突然，当一个人把他的铜钱放进壶里时，包拯命令手下抓住他。“你就是小偷！”包拯继续平静地解释道，“看！当这个人把一枚铜钱扔进壶里时，一些油浮在了水面上。只有卖油炸小吃的人携带的铜钱上会有油，所以毫无疑问，这个人偷了那个睡着的孩子的铜钱。”
多亏了包拯，男孩拿回了他的钱。每个人都说包拯非常聪明。
