2010, the Year to Beat Tiger
武二爷上山打虎
5 February 2010
Bar keeper:
Sir, if you take more than three bowls of alcohol,
you must not advance your journey through Mt
Jingyang.
Wu Song:
Why?
Bar keeper:
Didn't you read the notice posted on walls? Mt
Jingyang is currently ruled by a man-eating beast who
has its military bases all over the mountain.
Wu Song:
So? I'm just a passenger. Why should it pick a fight
with me? Nuts? (leaves the restaurant after emptied
his 18th bowl of rice wine)
Tiger (leaps
out of the bush): Hi, dare you hack into my network!
Wu Song
(baffling): What? Where is your network?
Tiger
(fuming): Each rock in the mountain is a cell in my
network, don't you understand!
Wu Song
(jumps off the rock): Sorry about that. (picks up his
club)
Tiger
(springs forward): Are you out of your mind? You
never informed me you've developed a weapon! You are
the biggest threat to the mountain peace!
Wu Song
(dodges aside): No offence. It's just for
self-defence.
Tiger
(shouting): Shut up! I'm the only one here allowed to
develop, trade and use weapons, hear that?
Wu Song: Ok,
calm down, I'm leaving the mountain with my club ....
Tiger
(pounces forward while snarling): You really think
you can do that? Now, you may like to know, I'm
hungry and I need to borrow some fleshes and blood
from you, or I'll be restless and can't live at peace
with humans although as a beast I would love to
respect human's rights ...
Wu Song
(erupts): Enough of your nuisance! No more craps,
come here, try me, hie! You are just a no-two
no-three, no-three no-four paper tiger, I'll give you
some colour to see see! We'll find out who pa who,
tche!
2012, the year
of dragon ....
