Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Li Ming, who was naturally intelligent, but careless in his studies. Every time he took an exam, he only read for a few days, then he walked into the examination hall carelessly. The result was predictable: he failed every exam. His teacher repeatedly advised him to study hard, but Li Ming didn't care. Until one day, when he participated in the county exam, because of his carelessness, he made many mistakes in answering questions, and finally failed. This blow made him reflect deeply, and he finally realized the harm of carelessness. From then on, he began to study hard, and finally succeeded in passing the imperial examination.
