Once upon a time there was a man called Yue Yangzi in Henan who had a wife.
One day, Yue picked up a piece of gold. Gladly, he rushed hack home to show it to his wife. , his wife said, " I hear that a good man doesn't drink the water of Dao Spring (盗泉) and wouldn't pick up the things others lost. He would rather die food given by the people who disrespect him." Yue was very ashamed after hearing wife's words and the gold off into the fields and went to study in a far place.
One year later, Yue came back home. His wife asked him the for his return.
Yue said, "I was homesick and miss you very much."
Hearing this, his wife took up a pair of scissors and walked to the loom (织布机), saying,
"To make cloth, I weave (织) the cloth with one after silk thread inch by inch. If I cut the cloth with the scissors, all my efforts are Studying is also like this. You should get knowledge every day stopping."
Yue Yangzi was moved by his wife's words. Then he went back to his studies. This story reminds us to give up halfway.
