Origin Story
从前，在一个遥远的村庄里，住着一位名叫阿牛的年轻人。他勤劳善良，但也有一个很大的缺点：做事总是无休无止地做下去，从不休息。他每天从早到晚都在田里劳作，即使天黑了，他还会继续工作，直到精疲力尽才能勉强放下手中的活儿。有一次，他家里的水井干涸了，他决定要挖一口新井，他一连挖了三天三夜，挖到筋疲力尽，仍然没有找到水源，但他仍然坚持不懈地继续挖着。邻居们都劝他休息一下，但他总是摇头说：“不行，我一定要找到水源”。就这样，他一直挖了七天七夜，最后终于挖到了一口清澈见底的井。虽然他累得够呛，但他心里却充满了喜悦。这个故事告诉我们，坚持不懈的精神固然可贵，但也要懂得适时休息，劳逸结合，才能更好地完成工作，保持身体健康。
Once upon a time, in a faraway village, there lived a young man named An Niu. He was diligent and kind, but he also had a big flaw: he always did things endlessly without rest. He worked in the fields from morning till night every day, and even when it got dark, he would continue to work until he was exhausted. Once, the well in his house dried up, and he decided to dig a new well. He dug for three days and nights, until he was exhausted, but he still did not find water. However, he still persisted and continued digging. His neighbors advised him to rest, but he always shook his head and said, "No, I must find the water source." In this way, he continued digging for seven days and nights, and finally he found a clear well. Although he was exhausted, his heart was filled with joy. This story tells us that the spirit of persistence is precious, but it's also important to know how to rest in time and combine work and rest to better complete the work and maintain good health.
