Enjoyment in Untroubled Ease
In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, the name of which is Kun - I do not know how many li in size.
It changes into a bird with the name of Peng, the back of which is (also) - I do not know how many li in extent.
When this bird rouses itself and flies, its wings are like clouds all round the sky.
When the sea is moved (so as to bear it along), it prepares to remove to the Southern Ocean.
The Southern Ocean is the Pool of Heaven.
There is the (book called) Qi Xie, a record of marvels. We have in it these words: 'When the peng is removing to the Southern Ocean it flaps (its wings) on the water for 3000 li.

Then it ascends on a whirlwind 90,000 li, and it rests only at the end of six months.'
