Chong was known for his quip from an early age. When he grew to 5 or 6 years old his intelligence was match for an alt. One time, Quan sent an elephant over and Cao wanted to know the weight. They asked around for an approach but nobody could propose one. Then Chong said, we can lead the elephant to a boat, mark the water and replace the elephant with other things. We can know the weight of the elephant by weighing the stuff on the boat
