Lion poetry

This is the history of lion eating by modern linguists. The full text is: Shishi poet Shi Ai Shi swears to eat ten lions. Shi always sees lions in the market. At ten o'clock, ten lions are suitable for the market. Shishi is in the right market at the right time. Stone regarded it as ten lions and died according to the arrow. Stone picks up the bodies of ten lions, which is just right for stone chambers. The stone room is wet, and the stone room is waiting to be cleaned. Wipe the stone room and taste the ten lion corpses for the first time. When I was eating, the first thing I knew was the bodies of ten lions, but they were actually the bodies of ten lions. Trial interpretation is a problem.

Vernacular translation:

There is a poet named Shi in the stone house. He likes lions and vows to eat ten lions. This gentleman often goes to the market to find lions. At ten o'clock that day, he arrived at the market, and so did ten big lions. So the gentleman looked at the ten lions and killed them with his ten stone bows and arrows.

Mr. Wang picked up the lion's body and walked back to the stone house. The stone house was very damp, so Mr. Wang asked his servant to clean it. After wiping, Mr. Wang began to try to eat the bodies of the ten lions. When he ate it, he realized that the ten lion bodies were not real lion bodies, but ten lions made of stones. Only then did Mr. Wang realize that this was a fact. Please try to explain it.
