in the vocab tab, 嘴 is written as 3rd tone, but it sounds like 4th tone to me. Can someone check this? If I'm hearing it correctly as 4th tone, is this one of those characters that is often said in a different tone to what the dictionaries have?

"他为什么让悠悠进去?"

因为她威胁“不然我喊了”

。。。也许你觉得因为他让悠悠进去了不要她喊了,这个表示他有什么事情要隐藏了,表示他有亏心。。。可是别忘了悠悠真的是疯了,谁知道她会喊什么? 有可能很大撒谎或至少特别隐私特别尴尬的事情[不管是否喊了的事情是实话的,可能邻居隔壁会还相信了。。。真丢脸!]。。。所以最好让她进去我觉得,不必任何的意义,任何的意味

"Even rocks should be respected in that universe"

too right. You never know, it might contain a stone monkey, and the nature of monkey is not only sentient, it is IRREPRESSIBLE!!

"I can't say whether Buddhists would approve"

...I wonder if thinkbuddha is still lurking and can come and fill us in. This discussion reminds me of one of my favourite FrenchPod lessons:

http://frenchpod.com/lessons/theres-a-spider-in-the-room

...involving a spider, a terrified woman who demands it's immediate extermination, and a Buddhist with accompanying mystical music...a real charmer of a lesson.

helzcurrah,

"I didn't really find it"

...sorry, when I asked:

"How did you find this one?"

my question was totally ambiguous. I meant what did you think of it, as in 怎么样?

“We also had a debate about whether it was "proper" to kill the cockroach we found in our room given where we were staying! In the end we didn't.”

哈哈,我喜欢这个故事。。。谢谢根我们分享 :)
