Dog Song looked at the young man and the other young men that were busying themselves to the side. He shook his head and said, "It's a noble deed, but our village doesn't need it. You can keep it for yourself. Excuse me, I need to sweep the streets."
With that said, Dog Song left.
The young man was puzzled as he hurriedly asked, "My good man, what do you mean? Why is there no need for couplets? Has everyone bought their couplets already? Don't worry, we are doing it for free. It won't cost a thing."
Dog Song looked at the young man and said, "Young lad, didn't you read the recent news? We have a calligraphy master here. Everyone has already decided on scaling the mountain today to ask for couplets. That's why all of you came here for nothing today. If you ask me, I think it's best you return. We appreciate your kindness."
"Calligraphy master? Here?" The young man was taken aback.
