Jackie Chan and Scrooge are sitting at a table in the backyard of my "e" location. Jackie Chan is rubbing his stomach, indicating to Scrooge how HUNGRY he is. He continues to look hopefully at the door, and the waiter finally appears, carrying two glasses of water and one small bowl of rice on the tray. Jackie looks at Scrooge in shock, once again rubbing his stomach, pointing at the rice and shaking his head, clearly showing that this small amount of food is not going to satisfy his great HUNGER. Scrooge shrugs his shoulders and carefully peruses the bill, making sure he wasn't overcharged.

Jackie Chan is in my childhood home backyard looking forward to a BBQ and uses a can opener to open food cans, but rather than food, he uncovers narcissus flowers. He is sooooo hungry and all he gets is preserved narcissus flowers.

Jackie Chan (Ø) has been stuck in the bathroom 3rd tone) in Barton Elementary for three days now with no food, just water. While still eating dumplings 🥟 with a fork (饣), I (我) walk in happy as a lark and notice Jackie. He makes this grunting sound; EUH, EUH! You HUNGRY?!
