"She sat by the river washing her feet, she said: Water, you really keep your promise. You come on time every day. The water spoke back: What I saw yesterday wasn‘t me, I just got here.

A flock of wild geese flew by in the sky. She said: Geese, you really don‘t miss your appointment. You passed by here last year, and now you‘re coming back at the same time this year. The geese said: It wasn‘t us who passed by last year. Those who passed by last year died in the south long ago. Then she realized that waiting for others had become a joke. That night, she suddenly turned into a mountain. "Can you imagine dying because of a joke? The people of Yanjin are put to a severe test every day. A fairy visits them in their dreams, often turning them into a nightmare that ends in death. So what is the solution? The solution is to memorize some jokes before going to sleep, but exams are very terrifying and can make a person forget what he has memorized.
