Do you know the story “Practice makes perfect”? It means if you practise one thing many times, you can do it quite well.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Yaozi. He was good at shooting(射箭）and he often felt happy for it.
One day, when he showed his shooting ability(能力）to everyone in a garden, an old man went by. The old man stopped and watched him. Chen shot ten arrows all hitting the bullseye(靶心）. Everyone in the garden was happy for him but the old man kept quiet. So Chen felt angry. He asked the old man a question, “Do you know shooting too?” “No, I don’t know shooting at all,” the old man said. The young man asked arrogantly again, “Isn’t my shooting ability excellent?”
“I think it’s nothing special. Anyone can do it after doing it many times,” the old man answered.
After that, the old man took out a gourd(葫芦）, and put a coin(硬币）on the mouth of the gourd, got some oil, raised it high and poured(倒）it down onto the gourd.
It felt like magic. The oil poured down like a line through the hole of the coin. All the oil ran into the gourd without leaving a mark on the coin at all. The old man said, “It’s the same as anything. Practice makes perfect!” If you work hard and keep doing one thing again and again, you will be good at it too. Maybe you can do even better.
