In the State of Chu, a man cooked monkey meat and invited his neighbor to share it. He told his neighbor, "This is dog meat."
The neighbor ate and drank his fill, praising the excellent taste.
After the meal, upon learning he had eaten monkey meat instead of dog meat, the neighbor felt nauseated. He squatted down and vomited until he had emptied his stomach.
Afterwards, people said, "That neighbor is truly a man who cannot savor the taste of food."
