The emperor commanded Kouan-Yu to create a large bell that could be heard from 100 li away and be made of brass strengthened with gold and silver with religious engravings. Kouan-Yu assembled skilled workers to begin the work but the metals refused to join together. When the emperor heard of the difficulty, he became angry but said nothing.

The folktale "The Soul of the Great Bell" by Lafcadio Hearn tells the story of Emperor Yong-Lo of China's Ming Dynasty who commands one of his officials, Kouan Yu, to cast a great bell that could be heard from 100 li away. Several attempts are made but the bells are flawed. The emperor threatens Kouan Yu with death if the bell is not completed successfully. Kouan Yu's daughter, Ko Ngai, sacrifices herself by leaping into the furnace in order to mix her blood with the metals as fortune tellers advised, which allows the great bell to be cast perfectly.Bias and prejudice

The story tells of a fox who tricks a bear multiple times by taking advantage of technicalities in their agreements to divide crops. When the bear plants carrots and the fox gets the roots while the bear is left with inedible greens, and again when strawberries are grown and the fox gets to keep the fruit. Finally, the bear gets revenge by tricking the fox into trying to kill a horse to eat its meat, resulting in the fox being badly injured. The bear feels the fox got what he deserved for his previous deceptions. The story shows how clever trickery can backfire if one is too clever.Makato and the cowrie shell
