Once inside the yard, Qiao Duo'er couldn't help but laugh and cry at the sight of the donkey on strike, and Almond was just as helpless. Could you put up a little fight?
Other households' donkeys, blindfolded, would think they're on a straight path and keep going.

"Go tell Uncle Huang to buy another adult donkey," Qiao Duo'er instructed, "if this continues, we won't be able to keep up with the sales at Duo Meifang."
As for this lazy creature, just keep it for now; it can still do some work after all.

Almond nodded: "I'll go tomorrow."
Once the donkey was unloaded from the mill, it suddenly perked up, brayed loudly, and took off running.
Almond suddenly wondered what the point was in begging Madam to keep it. What for?
