the young rat in its original form rejoined with a sneering smile： You all lack， I maintain， experience of the world; what you simply are aware of is that this fruit is the scented taro， but have no idea that the young daughter of Mr. Lin， of the salt tax， is， in real truth， a genuine scented taro.
