Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he sneaked out to play. He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" The old woman said, "I am grinding the needle." Li Bai was surprised and asked, "Oh dear! As thick as a pestle, how can it be ground into a needle? " The old woman walked over and said, "As long as the pestle is always ground more and more finely every day, are you still afraid that it is not a needle?"

Li Bai, a clever man, was ashamed of himself after hearing this. He turned and ran back to the bookstore. From then on, he kept in mind the truth that "as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle", studied hard and finally became a famous great poet.

"At first glance, Confucius saw a city made of rubble bricks. The child added, "Do you think the city should give way to the car or the car should give way to the city?" Confucius was puzzled. Confucius thought the boy was very polite and asked, "What's your name? How old are you? The child said, "My name is Xiang Tuo, and I am 7 years old this year!" ! Confucius said to his students, "Xiang Tuo learned manners at the age of seven. He can be my teacher! "
