|If a king has seemed to himself to have planted trees, he will appoint new magistrates.| Also,

|If trees by length of time become injured and rotten, the nobles of the king will die a natural death.|

|If he has thought he saw shrubs which grew up into trees, this refers to the promotion of his great men.|

|If he has thought he saw the leaves of trees collected into his house, wealth shall be gained from the great in the manner of leaves,| &c.
