âThe chicken is dead, and the goose is alive⦠Why?â muttered Zhang San.
âBrother, could it be a zombified corpse?â Li Si asked softly as he looked at Zhang San.
âA zombie? What zombie? Have you watched too many movies? A zombie?â Zhang San rolled his eyes at Li Si.
âIf itâs not a zombie, why is the goose still alive even though the chicken froze to death?â Li Si was puzzled.
Zhang San glared at Lin Yan. âThe owner is soft-hearted. He spared the goose!â
Lin Yan smiled and shook her head.
âThatâs right. I knew that wasnât the case. How could the owner be soft-heartedâ¦â Zhang San smiled awkwardly.
âCan the goose resist the cold?â Li Si was somewhat puzzled.
âStop messing around,â Zhang San said impatiently.
Zhang Sanâs eyes lit up as he stared at Lin Yan. âI got it! The goose is an evolved being! It canât freeze to death!â
âSenior Zhang San, are you sure?â asked Lin Yan.
âIâm certain!â Zhang San said confidently.
âYouâre wrong. The goose isnât an evolved being.â Lin Yan sighed in disappointment.
âWhat did you say? Itâs not an evolved being? Then whatâs the explanation?â Zhang San asked anxiously.

âItâs a penguin.â Lin Yan grinned.
âA penguin?â
Zhang Sanâs expression turned ugly. âAre you cheating? How did the goose you were talking about become a penguin?â
Lin Yan stared at Zhang San in confusion. âSenior Zhang San, arenât penguins geese?â
âHow can a penguin be a goose?â Zhang San shook his head repeatedly.
âWhy would the character âpenguinâ in Chinese have the character âgooseâ in it if penguins werenât geese?â Lin Yan grinned.
âThat, thatâs becauseâ¦â Zhang San thought for a long time but could not come up with a reason. Thatâs right, why did âpenguinâ have the character âgooseâ in it in Chinese? Wasnât this a trap set up for him? Why was it called that way? Why couldnât it have the character âduckâ in it instead?
âIs white wine wine?â asked Lin Yan.
âYes.â Zhang Sanâs expression became even uglier.
âIs beer wine? Is a cocktail wine?â
âYesâ¦â Zhang San replied.
âThen why arenât penguins geese[1]?â asked Lin Yan.
âHmph, itâs still wrong. Let me ask you something else. Where was the fridge the penguin was locked in?â Zhang San said.
âHow about it was my fridge?â Lin Yan was puzzled.
âThatâs not right. Penguins live at the South Pole. Why would a penguin be in your fridge?â Zhang San said.
Lin Yan was speechlessâ¦
Indeed, the logic of fools was very strange.
âI caught it,â replied Lin Yan.
âWhy did you catch a penguin?â
âIt suited my mood. Iâm not only going to catch penguins. Iâm also going to catch polar bears. Canât I?â asked Lin Yan.
âThatâs right, Big Brother. Thatâs her problem. She can catch whatever she wants,â said Li Si.
âShut up!â Zhang San rolled his eyes at Li Si before turning to Lin Yan. âPenguins are huge. How did you put it in the fridge?â
âI have money. Canât I order a custom-made fridge?â asked Lin Yan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow can you be so arrogant? Even if you have money⦠Do you dare ask me another question?â Zhang San said anxiously.
âSenior Zhang, shouldnât you keep your promise?â Lin Yan grinned.
âGrandma!â Zhang San gritted his teeth.
âGood boy.â Lin Yan nodded. âLet me ask you something else. What does one plus one equal?â
âWhat does one plus one equal?â Zhang San was taken aback.
What kind of question was this? There was definitely a trap!
âBrother, one plus one equals two. Even a fool would know that!â Li Si added.
[1] All the previous alcoholic beverages have the same âwineâ character in Chinese, so Lin Yan is saying that as long as a term has a character in them, they can be generalized under that character. Itâs clearly wrong, but the two guys are obviously too stupid to come up with a counter example.
