PART 3 · LESSON 23 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Salty and Sweet
Ploy and Golf at the stall on a January night: Golf is very salty; salty? Golf doesn't eat salt; salty means stingy, he never treats; Ploy is sweet, a smooth talker, and Golf has wide noodles; so one word has two doors; as for the Captain, bland, which is a nice man; bland? not salty, not spicy; try saying who sells chicken eggs: the food words that describe people, and the tongue-twister on tones.
