1998 Chinese Fable Stamp. Rep of China.
sc#3197.

The stamp based on the following fables: "Adding Legs to a Drawing of a Snake." It means ruining an effect by adding something superfluous.
The original story:
A wealthy family held a memorial ceremony for their ancestors.
After the ritual, the host offered a jar of wine to his dependents. The men began to talk about the jar of wine,“The wine is just not enough for all of us,but too much for one of us. How about each of us drawing a snake on the ground? Who finishes drawing the snake first,the wine will go to him.” This proposal was agreed upon by all.

One man completed his drawing first and got the jar wine. Then he held the jar in his left hand,brush in the right hand,saying,“I can add legs to the snake.”

But before he finished drawing the snake´s feet,another man completed his drawing. He seized the jar of wine from the first man´s hand,saying:“Snakes have no legs at all. Why are you adding legs to it? ”In the meantime,he began to enjoy the wine,leaving the other man stupidfied.

The photo is only an example.
Mint & never hinged(mnh).
