A student in northern China misunderstood his assignment by bringing a bag of meat into class instead of a succulent plant.

In Mandarin, "succulent plant" sounds and reads similar to "fully of meat".

The child reportedly asked his parents to buy him a lot of meat and the other students were left confused when he brought it into school.

Finally, with the permission of the boy’s parents, the bag of meat was cooked and shared among the kids.

In Mandarin, succulent plant sounds and reads like “fully of meat”. That made a Chinese boy bring a bag of pork to classroom when his kindergarten asked children to bring succulent plant for a plant observation class in northern China.
