In a bustling marketplace, a young carpenter named Acheng was meticulously crafting a beautiful wooden sculpture. Immersed in his creative endeavor, he paid little attention to his surroundings. Suddenly, an uproar shattered the market's tranquility, as people accused a ragged man of stealing precious gems from a jewelry store. The man vehemently protested his innocence, but no one believed him, given his tattered clothes and suspicious demeanor. Acheng witnessed the scene but didn't join the chorus of accusations. He observed quietly, noting that despite his ragged appearance, the man's eyes held an air of honesty and helplessness. Upon closer inspection, Acheng discovered the stains on the man's clothes weren't gems but a special type of resin he often used in his woodworking. He believed the man was wrongly accused, completely innocent. Acheng bravely stepped forward, testified on the man's behalf, and explained the resin's origin. After Acheng's explanation, people realized their mistake and apologized to the man. Acheng's actions demonstrated justice and kindness, and his honesty and courage touched everyone in the marketplace. His story of defending an innocent man became the most widely circulated tale in the market.
