Three scholars on the way to a civil service examination stopped to buy refreshments from a woman who sold pastries. One scholar was calm and quiet while the other two argued over literature. The woman asked where they were going, and the latter two told her. â€œYou two wonâ€™t pass the exam,â€.? she said, â€œbut the other man will.â€.?
The results turned out just as the woman predicted, and the two who failed went back to find the woman and ask her if she knew some mystic art to predict the outcome. â€œNo,â€.? she said, â€œall I know is that when a pastry is thoroughly cooked it sits there quietly, but before itâ€™s finished it keeps making noise.â€.?
