Better be a chicken than a cow

We all know that although the mouth of a chicken is very small, it can at least choose what it wants to eat. However, the butt of a cow has no choice but to excrete selectively. What it eats and digests is just pulled out. I would rather be a small and clean chicken mouth than a big and smelly cow anus. After Yu Ning in the situation of small autonomy, rather than in the situation of big people to listen to domination. Or ironic act unwise words, more use of this language.

In the Warring States period, Su Qin came to South Korea to lobby Han xuanhui and Wang Kangqin. He said: "South Korea has a superior geographical position, has the most advanced crossbow machine, and the soldiers are very brave, so they can fight face to face.
