I think Chinese characters are very interesting. And the two characters eggs and melons are especially interesting.
Dàn kěyǐ chī, guā yě kěyǐ chī.
Eggs can be eaten, melons can also be eaten.

First I'll talk about terms related to eggs. There are chicken eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, and chocolate eggs, all very delicious. And they all have protein.
Guā ne? Guānyú guā de cí yǒu dōngguā, xīguā, nánguā, hé Hāmìguā. Qíguài, dōng-xī-nán-běi zěnma méiyǒu běigua ne?
And melons? Terms related to melons, there are winter melons, watermelons, pumpkins, and honeydew melons. Strange, East West North South, why are there no northern melons? [This is a pun, the names for melons in Chinese sound like the words for dōng-xī-nán-běi = East West South North].
