Chisel(凿) the Wall to Steal Light
Kuang Heng was born in a poor family. He liked reading books very much. But he was too poor to buy a candle for reading at night. So he dug a small hole in the wall so that the light from his neighbour could go through his room. He could use the light to read books every night. Finally, he became a great scholar.

In the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Wu and the State of Yue didn't get along well. One day, the people of Wu and the people of Yue happened to be on the same boat to cross a river. Suddenly a strong wind came, and huge waves hit people's faces. Just then, they forgot all the hatred between two countries and began to help each other just like they were one family. In the end, they safely got to the riverbank under everyone's effort.
