A Flamingo Among Chickens

Chinese has many set phrases, or chéngyǔ: four-word phrases that communicate a concept quickly to someone who knows the cultural and historical context.

These cocktail sticks are my take on 鹤立鸡群: a crane standing among chickens.

Give the flamingo to your guest of honor, and let everyone else be a chicken.
