Once upon a time , there was a saint . In his final years, someone asked him about teachers from whom he had learned all wisdom, so the saint told him three stories:

One day, I visited a village. It was late and no one was outside. At last, I saw a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that I could stay with him if I didn’t mind staying with a thief. I stayed with him for a month. Every night, he would go out to “work.” Mary times, he would come back with nothing. However, He never lost hope and said, “Tomorrow I will try again.” In the past years, there were many moments when I became so hopeless that I just wanted to give up what I was doing. And then suddenly, I would recollect the words of the thief.

There was another day when I was walking along the bank of a river. I saw a dog who was very thirsty and wanted to drink water from the river. However, he was afraid of his own image reflected in the water. He looked into the river, barked and then ran away. He did this several times. Finally, he managed to take a drink from the river despite his fears.

I met a little boy the other day in a small town. He was carrying a lighted candle with him. I

asked him , “Did you light the candle by yourself?” He said yes. I asked him again, “Then can you tell me where the light came from?” The boy laughed. He blew out the candle and asked me, “You see, I just put out the candle. Could you tell me where the light has gone?” I couldn’t answer and he told me, “It has returned to where it came from. “Since then, I have dropped all conceit(自责).

I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom which was ruled by a king who loved riddles (谜语). Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.

There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest bread. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.

One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said, "Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing(清除）any part of it,” the king challenged.

People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and even put their noses to the ground.

“ How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it ?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these worked, and the people went home unhappily. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.

A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉）. “Your Majesty,” the baker said to the king, “ I can make your line shorter with erasing any part of it.” Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.

“Now, good king,” the baker smiled, “your line is shorter.”

The people were very surprised. The king laughed and clapped his hands." You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice."

The baker was excited. Now he could sell his bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
