唐代李白小时候是个读书不认真贪玩的孩子，有一天，李白看见一位老太太坐在家门口手拿一根很粗的铁棒认认真真在磨，李白感到很稀奇，便问老太太，磨铁棒干什么？老太太说：“我要用这根铁棒磨成针”，李白笑着说：“这么粗的铁棒哪年哪月才能磨成针呢”？老太太笑着说：“滴水穿石，只要功夫深，铁棒就能磨成针”。李白听了老太太的话，明白了一个道理，只要下功夫，做任何事情都能成功。从那以后李白发奋读书终于成了一位伟大的诗人。
When Li Bai was a child in Tang Dynasty, he was not serious about reading and playing. One day, Li Bai saw an old lady sitting at the door with a thick iron bar in her hand. Li Bai felt very strange. He asked the old lady what was the purpose of the iron bar? The old lady said, "I'm going to use this iron bar to make a needle." Li Bai said with a smile, "when can such a thick iron bar be made into a needle?"? The old lady said with a smile, "a drop of water wears a stone. As long as you work hard, an iron bar can be ground into a needle.". Li Bai listened to the old lady and understood a truth. As long as he worked hard, he could succeed in anything. After that, Li Bai became a great poet at last.
