Once upon a time, in a bustling marketplace, an old farmer lost his beloved ox. This ox had been his companion for many years, and had become an indispensable part of his life. The old farmer searched the entire market, but found no sign of his ox, and his heart was filled with anxiety and despair. At this time, a young scholar witnessed everything, and he stepped forward to ask what had happened. Having learned about the old farmer’s lost ox, the scholar didn’t leave, but decided to help the old farmer search. He visited nearby villages, asked passersby, and even posted missing ox notices. After much effort, a few days later, the scholar finally found the old farmer’s lost ox in a remote village. It turned out that a shepherd boy had mistakenly thought the ox was lost and had brought it home. When the shepherd boy saw the scholar coming to look for it, he immediately understood what had happened and voluntarily returned the ox. After receiving the news from the scholar, the old farmer was overjoyed and immediately rushed to the village. When he saw his lost ox, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he repeatedly thanked the scholar. In the end, the ox was returned to its owner, and the old farmer had a deeper understanding of the kindness and sincerity of human nature. This story tells us that helping others and being honest are beautiful virtues, and are important cornerstones for building a harmonious society.
