Li Bai (701-762) was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty of China.<\/span> \"\"<\/span><\/p>

When he was young, Li Bai was not interested in learning at all, and he often wen out playing. <\/span><\/p>

One day, Li Bai saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle by the river. <\/span><\/p>

He felt so curious that he went over and asked the old woman what she was doing. <\/span><\/p>

It turned out that she was making a needle for her granddaughter to learn embroidery. <\/span><\/p>

Having heard this, Li Bai laughed as most kids would do, because he thought it was a waste of time to grind an iron pestle into a needle and that by the day the needle was made, her granddaughter would have turned into an old woman herself. <\/span><\/p>

However, the old woman told him with confidence: \u201cAs long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle.\u201d <\/span><\/p>

Suddenly Li Bai realized that perseverance would help one succeed in everything.<\/span><\/p>

From then on, Li Bai began to study hard and accumulate knowledge. He finally became a great poet!<\/span><\/p>
