• No you are wrong, I had a

• at the same time I found a man following me. I knew he was

paparazzi

• and I talked to myself just cool down. But I couldn’t help beating him, and he fainted on the spot.

• The next day, the man told me that he wanted to sue me.

• I said,” It seems that you are in extremity.”

• Jay said,” I would sell

•The bird said,” I had a
