经典故事 One day, a young boy named Zhang Liang was walking along a bridge. He saw an old man sitting there. One of the old man’s shoes was left under the bridge.
“Go over there and get my shoe, young boy!” the old man ordered. Zhang Liang felt surprised but he still picked it up for the old man. The old man said, “Five days later, please come to meet me at the bridge early in the morning.”
Five days later, Zhang Liang went there. But the old man came there before him. The old man got angry about his lazy habit.
Zhang Liang was asked to come again. The next day, Zhang Liang arrived earlier than before. But the old man was still before him. The old man became much angrier and asked him to get there again the next morning.
This time, Zhang Liang arrived at the bridge late at night. He spent the whole night there. When the old man came the next early morning, he was happy to find Zhang Liang there earlier than him.
The old man nodded with a smile and gave Zhang Liang a valuable book. Zhang Liang read the book carefully day and night and learnt many skills from it. Many years later, he became a wise politician (政治家) and made great achievements.
