Origin Story

从前，在一个偏远的小山村里，住着一个名叫小石的年轻人。他从小就对学习不感兴趣，整日游手好闲，不务正业。村里人都说他愚昧无知，但他却对此毫不在意，甚至还沾沾自喜。有一天，村里来了一个算命先生，小石好奇地凑了过去。算命先生看他面相，摇了摇头，说他命中注定要贫穷潦倒，因为他不思进取，愚昧无知。小石听后大怒，他认为算命先生在胡说八道，完全不相信他的话。之后，他依旧过着浑浑噩噩的生活，从未想过改变自己。结果，他真的如算命先生所言，一生贫穷潦倒，最终在悔恨中度过了余生。这个故事告诉我们，愚昧无知会使人失去机会，最终走向失败。

Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, lived a young man named Xiaoshi. He had never been interested in studying and spent his days idle and doing nothing. The villagers said that he was ignorant and foolish, but he didn't care, and even felt smug about it. One day, a fortune teller came to the village. Xiaoshi curiously went to see him. The fortune teller looked at his face, shook his head, and said that he was destined to be poor and destitute because he was unambitious and ignorant. Xiaoshi was furious and thought that the fortune teller was talking nonsense and didn't believe him at all. He continued to live a carefree life and never thought of changing himself. As a result, he really did as the fortune teller said; he lived a poor and regretful life and spent the rest of his life in regret. This story tells us that ignorance can cause people to lose opportunities and ultimately lead to failure.
