Unit Seven

Great Archaeological Discovery

　　An erratic instrument was exhumed from an excavation of ancient epoch. It looked like a pipe but was embroidered exquisite pictures on it, and could still engender a euphonious sound. As nobody in the country can enunciate what it is, an archaeologist with special expertise skill was enlisted from abroad.
　　Following the envoy, the expert came to the expedient huts encompassing the spot. During his expeditious esteeming, the expert was completely engrossed. He exclaimed: “This is an exotic flute which is the oldest extant one, and all others have been exterminated in ethic migrations.” Then he gave an exemplary play with the pipe, followed by extemporaneous expounding to its structure. Eventually, he extolled the importance of this discovery, showing exorbitant etiquette.

He emended his plan and wanted to encroach the flute. Thus he exerted his eloquence and equivocated: “Sorry I’ve made a mistake maybe. According to an excerpt from a book enacted by my teacher, this instrument is unworthy. Its value cannot emulate a common flute.”
　　The official was exasperated: “Nobody will endorse such nonsense excluding yourself. Your crime can be neither extenuated nor exempted. Expedite your steps and eschew us, foolish exponent.”
　　The archaeologist was enervated and ran away as soon as possible.

But I shall not go forthright, because the feud between foxes and chickens will fluster or fret her, and foment her escape. I must make her believe her foe through frauds.”
　　After fitful garnishing, the fox comes up to the fluffy fowl with a genial smile on his face. He feigned that he is a gentry with genteel speaking genre: “Hey, my fraternal friend! I’m coming to extricate you from a disaster. It’s not facetious. Your nest is too flimsy and frail to be a fixture for living. It cannot foil great gales coming soon. However, I can help building a new nest with many fortes for you, which can forestall water exuding. I just want to show my genuine feat and won’t extort money from you.”
