话说唐朝时期，有一个名叫李白的传奇人物，他不仅诗写得好，而且技艺超群。一次，他受邀参加一位皇亲国戚的宴会。席间，宾客们纷纷展示自己的才艺，琴棋书画，应有尽有。但李白却只是默默地坐在一旁，并不显山露水。主人见他如此，便笑着问道："李白先生，您也展示一下您的才艺吧！"李白微微一笑，然后从容地拿起一把普通的木梳，在手中轻轻一挥，梳子竟被他变成了栩栩如生的飞鸟，然后又变回木梳，令众人啧啧称奇。宾客们纷纷赞叹道："李白先生的技艺真是神乎其技！",

But Li Bai just sat silently on the side, not showing off. Seeing him like that, the host smiled and asked, "Mr. Li Bai, why don't you show us your talents as well?" Li Bai smiled slightly and calmly picked up an ordinary wooden comb. With a light flick of his hand, the comb was transformed into a lifelike bird, and then back into a comb again, causing everyone to marvel. The guests exclaimed: "Mr. Li Bai's skills are truly amazing!"
