Elders Long, Luo, and Lin were sitting at a small table.

“Hah! Kowtow to your master!”

After speaking, Elder Long laid two cards onto the table.

“A pair of kings!? I was truly unable to see Mt. Tai, I fold.”

Elder Luo rested his head on the table dejectedly. Elder Lin, though, merely laughed.

“A pair of kings… heh… heheh… You thought yourself to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, but you are a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it!”

As Elder Lin laid his own cards on the table, Elder Long widened his eyes in flabbergastation.

“A pair of aces… I was truly a frog in the well, knowing nothing of the great sea… I'm tired of poker, let's go play some bingo.”

The elders nodded and slowly stood up.
