子谓仲弓曰，犁牛之子骍且角，虽欲勿用，山川其舍诸。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子谈到仲弓时说：耕牛所生的小牛长着通红的毛、端正的角，人们即使不想用它做祭祀的牺牲，山川之神难道会舍弃它吗？

James Legge Translation

The Master, speaking of Chung-kung, said, "If the calf of a brindled cow be red and horned, although men may not wish to use it, would the spirits of the mountains and rivers put it aside?"
