Long long ago, when the world was young，a spider got a pot (壶）by accident. In the pot was all the wisdom (智慧）of the world. The spider would like to be wiser than others, so each day he reached into the pot and learned something new.
But Spider would not share and wanted to keep all the wisdom to himself. Finally, Spider made a plan. He began to climb a tall tree. "I will hide the wisdom pot way up high，" he said. "I will be the wisest one in the world that way."
As he climbed, the birds always got in his way. And the pot kept getting stuck in the branches. What's worse, the pot was so heavy that the little spider had to take a rest from time to time. From below, Spider's son watched. He called out, "Tie the pot to your back，Father. That way，it will be easier to climb."
Spider heard his son's suggestion and thought, "My young son is wiser than I. I have the wisdom pot，yet he is wiser." Spider got very mad. and threw the pot to the ground，breaking it into many pieces. The crowd of spiders came up to the pieces like the waves of the sea. Everyone picked up a piece of wisdom.
And that is why many people know different things. But no one has all the wisdom in the world, which sparks (引发）the fire of wisdom and develops the society.
