"Apparently, you do not know how we do things here. We settle small disagreement like this with Three-kick Rule."

Barrister Akpos asked,

"What is the Three-kick Rule?"

The farmer replied,

"Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
