M=Mom S=Son
M:Where are you going
S:To Long Shan Temple.
M:What for
S:Saying prayers, of course!
M:I know. But why you're taking your dog with you I don't think it is proper to take a pet dog with you to Long Shan Temple.
S:Oh, Mom. You don't understand!
M:So tell me since I don't have any idea.
S:You know, we Chinese often talk about yuan-fen.
M:Yuan-fen, of course. That's sort of fate that brings people together, lovers in particular!
S:One more question.
M:Yes, please!
S:Who's taking the responsibility for it?
M:The Old Man Under the Moon. He is in charge of checking people's names from a list provided to him by the Seventh Mother.
S:And how can he do it?
M:Oh, he ties couples together at birth using invisible red thread.
S:What if this succeeds?
M:If this succeeds in drawing them towards each other innocently as life takes its course, then it should eventually result in marriage.
S:Marriage - that's the point!
M:Oh, darling, you're not thinking of getting married to your pet dog - even though I know you two have a very unusual relationship......
S:Oh, Mom. Of course not. I just want my pet dog can find his lover as soon as possible, so that I could have more baby dogs......
M:Sorry, glaring error.
媽媽:你要去哪裡?
兒子:去龍山寺。
媽媽:做什麼?
兒子:拜拜囉!
媽媽:我知道,為什麼把小狗也帶去了呢?龍山寺應該不會讓小狗進去吧!
兒子:媽,你不懂啦。
媽媽:即然我不懂,你就教教我吧。
兒子:我們中國人講究緣分。
媽媽:緣分。就是一種把人和人拉在一起的力量,尤其是有情人。
兒子:再問個問題。
媽媽:請說。
兒子:是誰負責緣分?
媽媽:月下老人,七娘媽給他一張名單,他就把名單上的人拉在一塊。
兒子:怎麼辦到的呢?
媽媽:喔,用無形的紅線把一對對的戀人綁在一起。
兒子:是喔,如果成功的話?
媽媽:如果成功的話,最後就會結婚。
兒子:結婚──這就是重點了!
媽媽:親愛的,你不會想帶你的小狗去向月老求婚吧,雖然你們感情一向不錯。
兒子:喔,媽,當然不是,我只是想求月老幫小狗配對,這樣我才可以有更多的小狗。
媽媽:對不起,嚴重錯誤。
