[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-ao] barn, sitting on the hay floor, playing Go. On the other side of the 尧 Go board sits the 尧 sage king, who is actually a cow. He sits on his hind legs and wears a small crown. He defeats Yoshi easily, before stating that his ancestors created the game of Go, which is why it uses black and white pieces, the same colors of a cow.
