Origin Story

从前，有个村庄里住着一位老农，他非常固执，别人怎么说他都不听。一天，村里来了位算命先生，老农不信，算命先生就给他算了一卦，说他不久会有大灾难。老农不但不信，还破口大骂，将算命先生赶走了。第二天，老农家的牛突然暴毙，接着，他的房子被雷劈着了，最后，他还被一场大病折磨得死去活来。经历了这些，老农才明白算命先生的话，可是一切都晚了。这便是不可理喻的典型例子，他的固执让他遭受了巨大的损失，也让周围的人对他无奈摇头。

Once upon a time, there lived a stubborn farmer who never listened to anyone. One day, a fortune teller came to his village and predicted a disaster in his life. The farmer not only refused to believe but also chased the fortune teller away. The next day, the farmer's ox suddenly died, his house was struck by lightning, and finally, he was tormented by a serious illness. Only after that did he understand what the fortune teller had said, but it was too late. This is a typical example of being unreasonable, his stubbornness led to huge losses and made people around him shake their heads in despair.
