Steamed Dumplings Translation Laurence Hunter
One day a group of boys were gathered together in their neighborhood talking, when a thin man with a white face appeared. "What is it, what is it-- " Asked the boys. "Well, the fact is, I’m just terrified of dumplings. Hhh hide. I must hide somewhere quickly." The man ,then for the time being decided to hide in a nearby storeroom. But there was a boy who liked playing tricks on people. "What a strange fellow that man is. I think I will play a trick on him." Straightaway, the mischievous boy went to the local shop and bought some dumplings, then piled them high onto a tray pushed them into the storeroom and closed the door shut from outside .
However, after some time had passed , still no sound could be heard from inside . When the boy opened the door, the man inside was licking sweet dumpling paste from his lips, and not even one dumpling had been left. "I thought I could scare you, but you’ve eaten up all the dumplings. What was so scary about them then?" "Tea, Tea , I’m also afraid of tea." The end Timesaver If you don't want trouble, don't go looking for it. |
