A Friend of the Duck | 鸭的朋友

点击查看中英对照

An American tourist was having lunch at a restaurant in China that specialized in roast duck. As he served each dish, the waiter explained: "This is the breast of the duck. This is the leg of the duck. This is the wing of the duck…"

Then came a dish the tourist recognized as chicken. He waited for an explanation, but the waiter remained silent.

"Well," the tourist finally asked, "what is this?"

"It's a friend of the duck," replied the waiter.
