Once when the master was drawing water from the well, he saw Nan-ch'uan (Nansen) passing by. Then, hanging on to a pillar, he extended his legs down into the well and shouted, "Save me! Save me!" Nan-ch'uan held up a ladder and cried out, "One, two, three, four, five." The master immediately got up and gave his thanks to Nan-chu'uan saying, "Just now, thanks to you, I was saved."
From The recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu - James Green
I often see people here asking for advice. I often see countless replies. Who of you is able to save Joshu?
