In a small town in Japan, there lived a boy named Kotai. Kotai was very intelligent, but sometimes he was a bit too playful and didn't like reading very much. His academic performance was always mediocre, which worried his parents a great deal.
One day, on his way to school, Kotai passed by an old bookstore. In the corner of the bookstore, he found a schoolbag that looked very old. There were strange patterns on this schoolbag, as if it hid some secrets. Kotai was immediately attracted to this schoolbag and bought it with his pocket money that he had saved for a long time.
When he put his textbooks into the schoolbag and carried it to school, something wonderful happened. He found that his schoolbag had become very light, and whenever he opened the schoolbag to take out a book, the knowledge in the book seemed to automatically enter his head.
Kotai was extremely surprised. He realized that this schoolbag was magical. In class, when the teacher asked questions, Kotai found that he could easily answer those questions that he had previously thought were very difficult. His classmates looked at him with envy, and Kotai was very happy.
However, Kotai didn't become proud because of this. Instead, he began to study even harder because he knew that this magic schoolbag was only helping him absorb knowledge better, and he also needed to put in effort himself. Every day, he would get up early, sit at his desk and seriously preview his lessons, and then happily go to school with his magic schoolbag on his back.
As time passed, Kotai's grades got better and better. He achieved excellent results in school exams, participated in many knowledge competitions and won awards. His parents were very pleased to see Kotai's change.
Kotai didn't forget the help that this magic schoolbag had given him. He treated this schoolbag like his best friend, carefully wiped it every day and didn't let it get a bit of dust on it.
One day, the magic schoolbag suddenly spoke to Kotai. It told Kotai that its magic was limited. As Kotai learned more and more knowledge, the magic of the schoolbag would gradually disappear. But it believed that Kotai had already developed the good habit of studying hard, and even without the help of the magic schoolbag, Kotai could still keep moving forward on the road of learning.
Although Kotai was a little reluctant, he also knew that he couldn't rely on the magic schoolbag all the time. He said gratefully to the schoolbag, "Thank you. You made me fall in love with learning. I will definitely work harder in the future."
Finally, the magic of the schoolbag disappeared, but Kotai had become a child who loved learning. With his own efforts, he continued to make progress on the road of learning.
