[r-] Robin is [2] inside the [-ao] barn. In front of him, on the other side of a 尧 Go board, is a cow. Next to them is a big pile of 饣 food that they are battling over. Robin wins, but in his infinite kindness, 饶 spares the cow and lets them split the 饣 food 50/50. What's more is that he even gives the cow some of his 饶 spare food once he finishes eating and finds he is not that hungry.
