1、Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, did not like
reading when he was young. One day, while the teacher was not in the room, he slipped out to play.
He came to the riverside under the hill and saw a wife grinding a pestle on a stone. Li Bai was very puzzled.
He went up and asked, My wife, what are you doing grinding the pestle? The wife said, I'm grinding the needle.
Li Bai asked in surprise, Ouch! How can a pestle be ground into a needle when it is so thick?
Said the old lady with a laugh,As long as it is ground every day, the pestle can be ground finer and finer. Are you afraid that it will not be ground into a needle?
When Li Bai heard this, he thought of himself and felt ashamed. He turned and ran back to the library.
From then on, he kept in mind the principle of as long as the work is deep, the iron pestle grinds into a needle and became a great poet at last, and was called Poetry Immortal.
