Within a few days, the whole village knew the story. The person she talked about was deeply hurt and angry.Later, the woman spreading the rumor（谣言） learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise man to find out what she could do to repair the harm. Go to the marketplace, he said, buy a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pick its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.
