Reconciliation of the Century (5)
Éditeur: Noodletown Translations
Zhu Lingling was the last one not to laugh at the jokes, and she was about to tell her own.
Zhu Lingling looked around before calmly speaking, "Once upon a time, there was a king. His favorite pet was an elephant, who became extremely arrogant because the king spoiled it. Nobody dared to mess with it. Finally, when it was time for the king's daughter to find someone to marry, the king thought, 'I'll marry my daughter to whoever can make my elephant shake its head, nod, then sit in the fountain.' However, many young men came to try and ultimately failed. One day, a young beggar showed up and asked the king if he could try. The king thought that he wouldn't succeed so he said yes. The beggar asked the elephant, 'Do you know me?' and the elephant shook its head. Then, he asked, "I heard that you're a badass?" The elephant nodded. At last, he took out a match and lit its tail on fire. The elephant immediately sat in the fountain to put it out.
