Lu Ban and the saw
鲁班造锯
A long time ago, there was a craftsman in China. His name was Lu Ban.
One day, Lu Ban was at work on a mountain. A leaf cut his finger. Lu Ban thought, "How could such a small leaf hurt my finger?"
He looked at the leaf carefully. There were many teeth on the leaf, and the teeth were sharp. "Could I make a tool with teeth like these? Then I could cut things with it easily," Lu Ban said to himself.

Soon, Lu Ban made a saw. It was the first saw in the world. People are still using this tool today.
