From The Wisdom of Jokes comes this tale of the hunchback who hunted cicadas. Taken from The true classic of the empty void by Liu Tseou, a contemporary of Taoism's Lao-Tse:

"How can you catch so many cicadas?" someone asks him. "Most people can’t even catch a single one of them."

"I used to be a juggler, and I worked with four or five balls," he replied. "Then, I kept the balls in equilibrium. Eventually, I abandoned the balls and left for the country, where I remained perfectly still, without even moving a millimeter. One day the cicadas came and thought I was a tree. At that point, I just had to close my hand to catch them."
