There was a man in the state of Qi who couldn't eat well all day and couldn't sleep. He looked sad.

One of his friends was very worried about him and asked with concern, "Are you worried?"

The man sighed and said, "Alas! I'm worried that the sky will suddenly fall and the ground will suddenly sink. Where will my body hide? "

His friend enlightened him and said, "The sky is just a mass of gas. There is no place without gas. You stretch, pitch, breathe, and you keep moving in the sky. Why are you worried that the sky will fall? "

The man added, "If this is a cloud of gas, wouldn't all the stars, the sun, the moon and the sky fall?"

His friends also advised him, "The sun, the moon and the stars are just a part of the light in that gas. Even if it falls, it won't hurt people. "

The man asked again, "So, what will people do if the ground sinks?"

His friend added, "The ground is just a pile of clods. It fills all the empty places in all directions. There is no place without clods. You've been walking, jumping and moving on the ground. Why are you worried about sinking? "

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely happy. The people who enlightened him were relieved and happy.
