Fatty scratched his belly, then his bottom, carried his burden, and asked again.
"A poem request! Black Big Fish! Didn't you hear clearly? We're asking you to write a poem, a poem!" The Spiny Puffer on the left repeated, curling its fin, mimicking writing, delighted and proud,
"Our Spiny Puffer Clan, when looking at the Jianghuai Great Marsh, is indeed unknown, just a small group, but Black Big Fish's fame in poetry resonates not only across Jianghuai but even the Demon King of the East Sea knows of it. They traveled a long way to find Black Big Fish for a poem request, and having heard it, the Thorny Fish immediately dispatched us."
"Exactly." The Spiny Puffer on the right nodded repeatedly, "This is a poem request. What do outsiders call this?"
"Payment for the poet!"
"That's it, payment for the poet."
The two Spiny Puffers sang in harmony, extremely excited.
Fatty was bored and completely uninterested.
