Love Palindrome
 Two brothers lived
together. The elder one was named Daniu [大牛 or Big Bull]; the
younger one was named Xiaoniu [小牛, Little Bull). Daniu was
illiterate but Xiaoniu could read and write. A very beautiful
girl lived in the apartment opposite their back window. Each of the
brothers would secretly watch her every day but were afraid to approach
her. Finally, Daniu shared his secret with Xiaoniu and asked
for his help in writing the girl a love letter on his
behalf. Xiaoniu was filled with jealousy but, knowing that his
brother could not read, decided to sabotage the message. He wrote the
short note and threw it across the window into the girl's apartment. The
note said: "Da niu bi jiao lan" [大牛比較懶, Daniu is lazier].
To Xiaoniu's surprise, the girl was apparently delighted by the message and
immediately started a torrid relationship with his older brother.
Why, you might ask? The note
was written from left to right but the girl had
read the note from right to left: "Lan
jiao bi niu da" [懶較比牛大, which sounds like "My **** is bigger than a
bull's"]
