Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived a kind and hardworking young man named A Qiang. A Qiang's parents died early and lived alone on a few acres of barren land.
One day, A Qiang went to the mountain to cut wood. Deep in the forest, he heard a strange cry. A Qiang followed the cry and found a white-haired old man lying on the ground, groaning in pain. A Qiang hurried forward, helped the old man up and asked him what was wrong. The old man said that he accidentally fell, sprained his foot and couldn't walk. A Qiang word, picked up the old man and walked down the hill.
After a long walk, I finally sent the old man home. The old man was very grateful to A Qiang, took out a gourd and gave it to A Qiang, saying, "This gourd is a treasure, and it can satisfy one of your wishes. However, you can only make one wish, and after using it, the gourd will disappear. " A Qiang took the gourd with a grain of salt, thanked the old man and went home.
When he got home, A Qiang looked at the gourd and thought: Can this really realize his wish? He decided to give it a try A Qiang said to the gourd, "I hope to have a room full of food, so I don't have to worry about being hungry anymore." With that, he closed his eyes and waited for a miracle.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself really in a room full of food. A Qiang was so happy that he finally didn't have to worry about his life.
However, the good times did not last long. The bully in the village heard that A Qiang had a magical gourd that could realize his wish, so he took a group of people to A Qiang's house and forced A Qiang to hand over the gourd. When A Qiang refused, the bully began to smash his home and threatened to kill him.
In desperation, A Qiang took out the gourd and said to it, "I hope the bully and his men will disappear." As soon as the voice fell, the bully and his men really disappeared. However, A Qiang also realized that he had made a mistake. He shouldn't hurt others with a gourd.
A Qiang decided to return the gourd to the old man. He came to the old man's house again, handed the gourd to the old man and said, "This gourd is amazing, but I can't use it anymore. I hope you can take back the gourd and let it not cause trouble to others. " The old man took the gourd and smiled and said, "You are a kind person, and your choice is correct. This gourd will only bring good luck to good people and will not be used by bad people. "
After that, the old man disappeared. A Qiang returned to the village and continued to live a hard-working and kind life. He knows that only through his own efforts can he really get happiness.
