Idioms and allusions

According to legend, there was an old man in ancient times who taught many students around him. One day after class, the students took out fresh pears and dates to eat. At this time, a guest came to my husband's house. The guest is a doctor. Seeing that the students were eating pears and jujubes, he advised them: "although pears are good for teeth, eating too much will hurt the spleen; jujubes are good for the spleen, but eating too much will damage the teeth." After listening to the guest's words, a dull student thought for a long time and then said, "when I eat pears, I just can't chew them down, so I can't hurt my spleen; if I eat dates, I can swallow them all instead of chewing, so I can't hurt my teeth." The guest said, "Oh, I can't help it. You'll swallow it all!"
