" The cook replied, "This sheep was killed by a jackal and needs to be cooked for adults."

Teacher Lou said happily, "This jackal is really sensible. When I saw my senior official eating, he went to bite the sheep, which just relieved me. " After a while, the chef brought another fish. Teacher Lou asked where the fish came from. The cook said, "This fish has just been killed by a jackal." Teacher Lou scolded, "Idiot, how can a jackal bite a dead fish if he can't dive?" ?
