Story 1
There are two people, A and B. Although they are friends, they are not close friends. Once, B went to visit A. It was almost noon. A had no intention of staying with B for lunch, but B wanted to eat at A's house. At this time, there was a sudden thunder, dark clouds rolled, and heavy rain was coming. B then picked up a pen and wrote this line: "On a rainy day, you will be a guest, and if you are a guest, will you stay with me?" He wanted to conclude the sentence like this - "On a rainy day, if you are a guest, will you stay with me? Stay!" But the host pretended not to understand him. He used another method to break up the sentence and chanted it - "When it rains, the sky will stay! If the sky stays, I will not stay!!" B had to leave in despair! ! !
If it rains, I won’t stay.
If it rains, the guests will stay, but the sky will stay with me? Not stay.
If it rains, the guests will stay, but will the weather stay with me? Keep.
When it rains, the sky invites visitors; if the sky accepts guests, I will not stay!
On a rainy day, stay as a guest, stay with me? Not stay.
On a rainy day, stay as a guest; will you stay with me? Keep.
On a rainy day, it’s a guest’s day. Should I stay or not?

Story 3
A calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty wrote a fan inscription for Empress Dowager Cixi. He wrote "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Zhihuan of the Tang Dynasty. However, due to his nervousness, he missed one word. The word "between". The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and insisted that the calligrapher had deceived her into being uneducated and she must be beheaded. The calligrapher was so anxious that he hurriedly explained: "This is not an omission, but a small tune that has been filled in," and immediately recited: "Far above the Yellow River, there are white clouds, and the isolated city is Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute complain? The spring breeze of the willows will not flow. "Jade Gate" Cixi was speechless after hearing this, so she had to give him wine to calm her shock. The calligrapher regained his head by cleverly breaking up his sentences.
