"That thing is a trap," said City Mouse. "The minute you touch the cheese something comes down on your head and you're dead." The little Country Mouse looked at the trap, and at the little City Mouse. "If you'll excuse me," he said, "I think I will go home. I'd rather have barley and grain to eat in peace than have sugar and dried prunes and cheese and be frightened to death all the time!" So the little Country Mouse went back to his home, and there he stayed all the rest of his life.

Butterstick? They named the panda Butterstick?
Not yet. But they should.
Better than "Born in USA"!!
But. He. Is. SO. FUCKING. CUTE.
He is so.fuckin.cute ... I love the pic of him on the Ch 4 website.
From my mandarin speaking friend...
Chinese don't have cows, so they don't have butter, and they would think it
disgusting! They hate and fear cheese but are happy to eat fish eyeballs...
Go figure. so there is no direct equivalent to a stick of butter.
Butter is Huangyou (pronounced hwang yo) or Niuyou (knee-o yo)
So the closest you can get is yi kuai huangyou (E Quii Hwang yo)
This literally means one piece of yellow oil, but everyone would know you
were talking about a lump of butter, larger then a patty.
I think huangyou would be a great name for the cute little guy.
I love it!!!
