27、In a restaurant, a big bug (虫子) suddenly flew out of nowhere and landed on a woman. She started shouting out of fear.

She finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now it was her turn to continue the reaction.
A waiter rushed to their table. The second woman managed to get the bug onto the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt.
While remaining calm, he carefully picked up the bug with his fingers and then threw it out of a window. People around him were surprised.
