In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.

This is a well-known story from ancient Chinese idiom.The boy, being poor, couldn’t afford even a candle, so he bored a hole in the wall to “steal” light from his neighbour’s house to read at night.The moral of the story is spare no effort to accquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be

Of course, things are totally different today It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts. Hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get perpared for the future.
