In the old days, small countries used to pay tribute to large countries.

They paid tribute to the king every year.

He prepared all night to lecture to the Emperor.

He was tilling the field all day long.

He tried to improve the soil by deep plowing.

His profound benevolence greatly impressed the people around him.

He has a deep and benevolent affection.

Emergent technologies are always changing our lives.

Eating pickled vegetables makes the meal taste even better.

Let's play koi-koi tonight.
