Getting everyone's agreement, the second son of the Li family went over by the river to prepare the buns in secret. At the time, he was more than a little tempted to run away and eat the bird and the two buns by himself, how great would that have been! Perhaps if he had made such a choice things would have turned out rather different.
But instead…
The first boy, Wang Ji cracked open the mud shell to find that he had a bun. Naturally he wasn't happy about the result, but not wanting to be the one who distorted the fair compeition, he simply snorted and prepared to fill his belly.
Seeing this, the second boy named Qing Ma let out a smile and cracked open his mud shell confidently to find… he also had a bun! Stunned, his eyes rolled a circle before he suspiciusly looked over at the second son of the Li family, Li Er.
Smiling, Li Er cracked open his mud shell to reveal… a third bun!
