1 concepts

Lao Wang told his friend: "My dog is very smart, he can understand Chinese."

The friend didn't believe him.

In order to make the friend believe, Lao Wang said to the dog: "Go bring me that newspaper!"

The dog ran over, but brought back an old leather shoe.

The friend looked and started laughing loudly.

Lao Wang, however, explained seriously: "What are you laughing at?

Of course he understood.

He just thinks today's news is uninteresting and doesn't want to read the newspaper."
