1 concepts

Uncle Li’s birthday is not until seven in the evening, but the cake arrives at three in the afternoon.

The cake is huge and will not fit in the refrigerator.

The neighbors first hide the cake in the first-floor office.

Uncle Li comes back as early as four, so everyone has to move the cake to the second floor.

At five, he goes to the second floor to borrow something.

The cake is moved again to the third floor, and the frosting is already a little crooked.

At six thirty, everyone finally gets the cake into Uncle Li’s home.

As soon as Uncle Li opens the door, he laughs: “You don’t need to hide it anymore.”

It turns out he smelled the cake in the elevator as early as three in the afternoon.
