Once, there were two hard-working children, Che Yin and Sun Kang. They loved reading, but their families were poor and couldn’t afford lamp oil(灯油)for the children to study at night. How did they get over the difficulty? Here are their stories. 

Che Yin’s story began on a hot summer night. He saw fireflies(萤火虫) flying and an idea came into his mind. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung it up as a lamp. He spent all of his summer nights reading like this. 

The other story happened in winter. Sun Kang woke up on a cold night. He saw the moon shine so brightly on the snow and it made the night brighter. “I can read with the light!”he thought. So he took his books outside and read, even though it was very cold.

 Later, Che Yin and Sun Kang became successful. Their stories were known as “Nang Ying Ying Xue”. Difficulties cannot stop young minds from learning. If there is a will, there is always light on the road to knowledge.

Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.

The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart(小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.

The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any sense of responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”

Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”

After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!

Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said. “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
