Question

Once upon a time, there were three tortoises who were friends. One of them was a large tortoise (乌龟),one was a medium-sized tortoise and the third was a small tortoise.

One day they went into a restaurant and ordered some cakes. While they were waiting for the cakes, they remembered that they didn't bring any money. "Hey, we forgot to bring money to pay for our cake," the big tortoise said.

"The little tortoise can go home and get it," the medium-sized tortoise said. "He's the youngest,so he should be the one to go."

The little tortoise wasn't very pleased at this, but he knew he shouldn't argue with his elders, so he said, "All right, I'll go. But you must promise not to eat my cake while I'm away."

The large tortoise and the medium-sized tortoise agreed, and the little tortoise set off for home to get some money.

A few hours later, the big tortoise said to the medium-sized tortoise, "Let's eat the little tortoise's cake. I'm hungry again."
