What is a "brownie"?

Chocolate Brownie - a cute chocolate cake. It is said that a fat black old woman wearing an apron made a soft chocolate cake in the kitchen, but she forgot to whip the cream first and made a failed cake. The moistness and denseness of this cake turned into an unexpected deliciousness. This cute mistake made the brownie the most representative cake in American families.

There is a piece of music called , which comes from Brazil. It is included in the music collection of the United Nations. There are two other pieces of music that represent the member country Brazil. It makes people understand that in addition to passionate dance music such as sangba and doorba, Brazil also has many soft love songs, just like this one . This folk song originated in southern Brazil and has become popular throughout Brazil. It lasted for about a hundred years; in the 1930s and 1940s of the last century, it spread throughout Latin America and then to the United States, becoming one of the popular old songs in the Western Hemisphere. To this day, when people sing "Brownie, Ah, Brownie", they think of the Amazon River surrounded by lush green mountains. They wander along the river to the seaside and see the endless blue sky and the Atlantic Ocean, and the blue sea floating on it. Riding on a small boat with a red body and white sails, a couple on the boat longed for each other's pity like fools.

However, brownie is also a pun. It is a name of a person and the name of food such as Brazilian specialty nut coffee chocolate. So, when you sing "Brownie, Ah, Brownie" and a Brazilian girl brings you a cup of fragrant coffee and a plate of delicious brownies, it's like a Tibetan girl bringing you Hada, Mongolian girls bring you milk tea, and they give you sincere friendship and warm welcome.
