Explain Riding a donkey to find another donkey
Story background
Once upon a time, a man named Wang San drove five donkeys to the market and sold them. Halfway he wanted to count the donkey, found only four, confused, again count or four. So he came down and counted, and all five donkeys were there. He suddenly realized that he was riding a donkey to find a donkey and forgot the other one.
The original metaphor takes up one position while looking for a more satisfying job. Now more figurative things are here, but also everywhere to find.
