One day, Li Mi had to go to a faraway place to 2 some of his family's business. Not wanting to waste any time on the way, he took all of the 3 that he wanted to read and hung them on one of the horns of his ox. He then climbed up onto his ox's 4 , with a book in one hand and the reins(缰绳) in 5 . In this way he could read while riding the ox so that he could 6 every second during the trip.
On the way, Yang Su, a very 7 scholar of the time, noticed this boy and said, " 8 hard-working boy he is! He must be a young man worth making friends 9 ." Not wishing to interrupt Li Mi 10 he was putting his heart into the reading, Yang Su followed the ox quietly instead, 11 until Li Mi looked up to get a new book. 12 impressed, Yang Su then rode up to Li Mi and 13 him, praising him highly for his attitude towards 14 .
