Dear Richard,
Qian (Àr) is the short name of the Gui Zhou (¶Q¦{) province, which is located in the southwest part of China. Long time ago, there were no donkeys in the province.
Then, a donkey was brought to the place. The donkey was big in size and its voice was loud. All other animals didn't come across donkey before and were quite scared by its appearance. Wherever the donkey went, all other animals, even tigers, tried to stay away from it. The donkey felt happy as being treated like a king. It didn't keep a caution any more.
One day, when the donkey was away from home, a hungry tiger tried to steal its food. The donkey found the tiger and was very angry. Thinking to give the tiger a lesson, the donkey kicked the tiger very hard. During the fight, the tiger discovered that the donkey was not as strong as it appeared. At last, the tiger killed the poor donkey.
Richard, whenever you go to a new environment, there could be hidden dangers. Make sure that you get familiar before lowering the caution.
With love, Dad
