Chinese Tongue Twister

Aqila wrote this for me to recite out loud.

I failed miserably, without a doubt. 

I managed to understand the meaning, though!

十 四不是四十

Shi si bu shi si shi,

十四是十四，

shi si shi shi si,

四十不是十四

si shi bu shi shi si.

Very simple meaning:

fourteen is not forty,

fourteen is fourteen,

forty is forty,

There is the continuation or a variation to that...

十是十

shi shi shi

四是四

si shi si

十四是十四

shi si shi shi si

四十是四十

si shi shi si shi

四十四只石狮子是死的

si shi si zhi shi shi zi shi si de

Guess what the meaning is! :)
