The old monk once walked in a mountain stream, and there was a little tiger the size of a dog with a broken leg. Probably fell off a cliff and was abandoned by the tigress. The old monk took pity on it, took it back to the temple and raised it with porridge and rice. Later, he domesticated it slowly and it followed him when he went out. After two years, the tiger became worse, and people called it "lame tiger". A guest visited the temple, and the tiger followed the monk back and forth to entertain the guests. Far and near.

There is more energy in reading now, and the gains will be long-term. The books he has read and recited will be unforgettable for life. Sima Guang once said, "When you are riding for a walk, when you can't sleep in the middle of the night, you can recite the article you have read and think about its meaning." "
