Origin Story

从前，在一个小山村里，住着一位名叫阿明的年轻人。阿明为人善良，乐于助人，村里人都很喜欢他。但是，阿明也有一个缺点，那就是做事不够认真，总是三心二意，虎头蛇尾。有一次，村里要修建一座水渠，大家都积极参与，阿明也报名参加了。开始的时候，阿明干得很卖力，大家对他赞赏有加。可是，没过几天，阿明就厌倦了，开始偷懒，一会儿摸摸鱼，一会儿聊聊天，效率非常低。后来，水渠修建好了，可是阿明所作所为却让大家失望了。他所负责的那一部分质量很差，甚至出现了漏水的情况。村长批评了阿明，让他重新修理。阿明羞愧地低下了头，他知道自己的所作所为给村里带来了麻烦，也辜负了大家的期望。从那以后，阿明痛改前非，认真地对待每一件事情，最终赢得了大家的尊重。

Once upon a time, in a small mountain village, there lived a young man named Amin. Amin was kind and helpful, and everyone in the village liked him. However, Amin also had a flaw: he wasn't serious enough in his work, and he was always fickle and half-hearted. Once, the village decided to build an irrigation canal, and everyone actively participated, including Amin. At first, Amin worked very hard, and everyone praised him. But after a few days, Amin became tired and started to slack off. He would take breaks, chat, and his efficiency was very low. Later, the canal was completed, but Amin's actions disappointed everyone. The part he was responsible for was of poor quality, and there were even leaks. The village chief criticized Amin and asked him to fix it. Amin hung his head in shame. He knew that his actions had caused trouble for the village and had disappointed everyone's expectations. From then on, Amin changed for the better, taking every task seriously, and eventually earned everyone's respect.
