Introducing an Amusing Game
(Original Title: 介紹有趣的娛樂)
Once, I and four of my siblings—five of us in total—decided to play this game. We started by preparing small pieces of paper and pencils. Each person wrote their name on a piece of paper (my brother, sister-in-law, my two other brothers, and sister, respectively) and put it in a pile. We shuffled the pile and then each drew a name. Next, each person wrote down a location (such as the kitchen, on the bed, in the garden, on the roof, or at school). After mixing, we did the same with actions, such as watching a play, weeping, shouting, riding a horse, or doing laundry. With everything combined, the results were incredibly amusing and made for great laughter and entertainment.
