The treasurer was very frightened and did not know what to do. At this time, Cao Chong passed by the warehouse, and the treasurer told him what had happened. Cao Chong comforted the treasurer, told him not to worry, and said that he would help him solve the problem. Cao Chong returned to his room and slashed one of his single clothes with a knife, as if it had been bitten by a mouse. Then, he took his clothes to Cao Cao and said that his clothes had been bitten by rats and were very sad. Cao Cao smiled and said: "This is the sharpness of the teeth of a mouse, but it is only sharp, and people's ambitions and talents are not destroyed by anything." Cao Chong took the opportunity to tell Cao Cao that the clerk guarding the warehouse was very conscientious, but due to negligence, the saddle was damaged by rats.
