Extra Translation:

The Duke of Qi arranged a banquet and set the time at dawn. A bird went but did not receive a cup from the ministers. The bird said, "Why do I not get to drink?" Guan Zhong replied, It's not that the ministers don't like birds, but the duke does not want to hear them." The bird said, "He treats them arrogantly. I have heard: The people plow, the ruler governs, birds talk. Prohibiting birds is not as good as obtaining their plans. Please let me go to my seat. The roof was leaking. The bird worried about it. The duke entered and said, "Please receive a gift from me!" He gave the bird some ale. The bird threw it aside and said, angrily, You are without courtesy." The duke, worried, said, I want to make you love my country.

Birds do not seek out my house." The bird replied, Even if you have courtesy, I will not seek your house anymore." A minister said, "Do not let him go out! but the bird had left them.
