Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Che Yin. He was extremely fond of studying. However, his family was very poor, and they couldn't afford an oil lamp at night. This made it impossible for him to study as well as the children from wealthy families at night, and he was very distressed about it.
One night, Che Yin was sitting in the yard and saw a lot of fireflies flying in the air, with a faint light shining on their bodies. Suddenly, Che Yin had an inspiration. He thought to himself: If these fireflies are gathered together, can't they be used as a lamp for reading?
So, Che Yin found a thin white gauze bag and began to carefully catch fireflies. He ran around in the grass and among the flowers, chasing those twinkling little lights. Although the fireflies flew very fast, Che Yin was very patient. Before long, he caught a great many fireflies.
Che Yin put the caught fireflies into the cloth bag and tied the opening tightly. Then, he put the cloth bag on the table and began to read by the faint light emitted by the fireflies. Although the light was not very bright, for Che Yin, it was enough for him to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge.
From then on, every night, Che Yin would use this method to read. His hard - working spirit in studying was widely praised and became an example for everyone to learn from, inspiring countless descendants to strive for knowledge even under difficult conditions.
