Long ago, in a remote mountain village, there lived a girl named Xiaolian. She was skilled with her hands and loved to design all sorts of handicrafts. The girls in the village loved to imitate others, and the things they made were monotonous. Xiaolian, however, was not content with this. She often sat alone on a field ridge, observing the various things in nature, looking for inspiration. One day, she saw a beautiful butterfly with unique patterns on its wings. She had a flash of inspiration, and she designed an original bow, not only with bright colors, but also with a unique shape. When the girls in the village saw this bow, they were amazed and asked her for instructions. Xiaolian happily agreed and patiently taught them the method of making it. From then on, the girls in the village began to learn Xiaolian's design principles, and the things they made became more and more unique and popular. Xiaolian's story became a widely circulated anecdote in the village.
