[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn where she comes across an elder and a 子 child walking around in the mud, looking at the farm animals. She goes up to them and says hello, whereupon they both 哮 roar so loud with their 口 mouths that she falls down into the mud. Angry at getting her warrior clothes dirty she gets back up and 哮 roars back at them.
