The topic is funny jokes or two-part allegorical sayings.

At dinner, my mother served a bowl of green onions to copy tofu. I had a brainwave and pointed to the dish and said, "Let me tell the first half of a two-part allegorical saying, you are right!" " "

"Fried tofu with green onions-""All clear" brother replied. "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea-",before I finished, my mother said, "This kind of two-part allegorical saying is too simple. I'll give you some technical ones. " "Guizhou donkeys bark like horses-""Southern accent, northern accent!" "Is it difficult? I'll give you one, too, and the monk will take an umbrella-"said my brother. "The monk an umbrella? What is this two-part allegorical saying? " I muttered to myself. "What is the most obvious feature of monks? What's on the back of the umbrella? " Mom suggested. "The most obvious feature of monks is that they have no hair. He has an umbrella to cover the sky and the sun! " I said. "Where is the sun?" Mom asked again. "Of course the sun is in the sky." "So, it's nothing for a monk to play an umbrella-"Mother said slowly. "It's lawless!" I blurted it out.

Mother smiled happily and said, "I'll give you another two-part allegorical saying that you can read." Dogs eat grass-"My mother thought this two-part allegorical saying must have stumped me, raised her eyebrows and looked at me proudly. With the last experience, I thought: dogs don't eat grass, should they learn from sheep? So I asked: "Is it a sheep?" "Oh, I didn't expect you to be right!" Mom said in surprise. I was so proud that I followed my mother's example, raised my eyebrows and looked at her proudly.

It was so interesting that we even forgot to eat.
