A girl brought her pet frog to a restaurant, and the staff thought she wanted the chef to cook it!刘娜: Really? Was it one of those tiny frogs?优子: Yes, it’s a small pet called a 'horned frog'. When the staff saw it, they immediately asked, 'Is this for cooking?' They almost even called the police.刘娜: Haha, that’s such a huge misunderstanding. Actually, many people now keep frogs as pets, just like cats and dogs.优子: Yes. The news also said that not long ago a restaurant was fined because it had 'toad soup' on the menu, since toads are protected animals.刘娜: So the wording of names is also very important. People who keep pets should learn more about these things, and it’s best to explain clearly when taking pets out.优子: I think Chinese pet culture is very interesting. Next time if I take a pet out, I’ll also tell everyone in advance.刘娜: Right, that way no one will misunderstand and life will be more harmonious.
