Catch Tom Sharp

Yellow River is full of fish, but you wouldn’t know it. I wanted a gentle and loving husband but the matchmaker found only mean and rough ones. The water’s muddy but the current’s gentle. If a man weren’t cruel, I wouldn’t care how ugly he is. The matchmaker went fishing but the geese flew free. That’s how I ended up with this toad.

新台 诗经

新台有泚，河水弥弥。 燕婉之求，蘧篨不鲜。 新台有洒，河水浼浼。 燕婉之求，蘧篨不殄。 鱼网之设，鸿则离之。 燕婉之求，得此戚施。
