The Story of the Old Magpie and the Fat Pig

Once upon a time, there was an old crane who landed on a tree by the river to rest cool; and a fat pig came to the river to take a bath. The old magpie looked down and said, "Hey! Here comes a big black pig - it's really ugly!" The fat pig looked up and said: "Oh! It turns out to be a black old magpie - it's really ugly!"

When the old magpie heard this, he became angry, "Who do you think is black?" The fat pig also got angry, "Who do you think is black?" Neither the old pigeon nor the fat pig admitted that they were black. The old crane and the fat pig were arguing when a white duck swam over from the opposite side. Asked: "What are you arguing about?"

The old magpie said hurriedly: "I don't criticize him, but he calls me black." The fat pig also rushed to say: "I don't criticize him, he is black. Instead, it says that I am black. White duck, please tell me whether it is black or mine!" The white duck laughed and said, "What are you two asking me to judge? One is blacker than charcoal, and the other is blacker than the ashes at the bottom of the pot. Black, half a pound to eight ounces, you two are both black, and you are still arguing. Which family is arguing about which family? What a joke!"

The old magpie thought that the white duck would definitely say fat. The pig is black. Unexpectedly, the white duck said that it was also black. He immediately said "Wow" in anger. The fat pig thought that the white duck would definitely say that Lao Que was black. Unexpectedly, the white duck said that it was also black. He immediately said "Humph" in anger. Hum"; one said "wow" and the other said "hum". The white duck laughed even more happily.

From then on, the old magpie said "wow" when he spoke; the fat pig said "hum" when he spoke.
