Pretending to Be Garlic

 

Pretending to Be Garlic

 

The world is in chaos, with constant wars and natural disasters, but Big Elvis is still immersed in his dream. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, Big Elvis ignored them and just thought about how to turn the green mountains and green waters into mountains of gold and silver, and golden rivers and galaxies.

Betty the crow told Agudemba a story about Elvis Presley's patrol in the South.

Big Elvis saw that the rice fields were covered with heading rice, but the nearby mountains were bare and barren of grass. Big Cat King said to the attendant: Why can't the rice be planted in the mountains? Cherish soil as much as gold, and let every inch of land in Big Cat Country grow gold.

As a result, Big Cat Country launched a campaign to plant rice in the mountains. The trees on the mountains were cut down, but the rice planted on the mountains withered. There have also been some landslide disasters.

The attendant, the housekeeper, took some pictures of rice growing on the mountain to fool Big Elvis: "Your Majesty, look, how abundant the rice grows on this mountain!"

When Big Elvis was patrolling the southern countryside, he was suddenly annoyed by the feces in his asshole. He couldn't find a toilet, so he had to take off his pants and defecate in broad daylight with his bare buttocks.

Big Elvis said to the attendant and attendant: To convey my will, all villages must immediately build public toilets in fields and valleys so that people can have a convenient place to go. This is an act of love and convenience for the people. Doing practical things for the people is a merit. Countless things. However, after this instruction was issued, nothing happened. Because rural areas don’t have the money to do this big project, who will take care of the built toilets? People can just poop and pee in the fields. This is an energy-saving tradition that prevents fertilizer and water from leaking out.

Big Elvis went to the countryside again the next winter to inspect, but unfortunately the green garlic had not yet grown this season. He once saw a piece of green garlic growing green in the field in spring, and he praised it at that time.

In order to please the big Elvis, the attendant had already asked local officials to transplant many daffodils together. From a distance, the leaves resembled green garlic.

The attendant said to the big cat: "Your Majesty, do you see the green garlic nursery in the distance?"

Big Elvis looked up and saw a patch of green in the distance, but he didn't know it was a narcissus with leaves that resembled green garlic. He actually thought it was green garlic and was full of praise.

As a result, the retainer was promoted. Soon he was promoted to counselor by Big Elvis and became a close minister of the emperor.

Crow Betty smiled and said to Agudemba:

Since then, people have ridiculed deception or pretending not to understand as "pretending to be stupid". Nowadays, there are more and more people pretending to be garlic, and it is not uncommon for people to become high officials because they are good at pretending to be garlic.

Crow Betty sang a little ballad "Pretending to Be Garlic":

 

Narcissus does not bloom;

You can pack garlic.

Pretending to be stupid can bluff people.

Better than pretending to be stupid.

Although confusion is rare,

It’s not difficult to pack garlic.

What a ridiculous fool!

I don't know if I ask nine questions.

Pretending to serve the emperor,

The flattery is in place.

Yesterday I was a squire;

Be a close minister today.

The smell of garlic spreads everywhere,

The stench fills heaven.
