Once there was a young boy named Sima Guang. He loved to play with his friends and he was very kind and helpful.
One day, he was playing in a
park with his friends. All of a sudden
he heard a P L O P ! He thought that it
was a rock, but it wasn't. It was one
of his friends who wasn't being very
careful and when he was looking the
wrong way, he slipped and fell into a
big, big, big clay planter full with
water.
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sima Guang was afraid because
his friend couldm't get out. He wanted
to help his friend, but what could he
do? Then Sima Guang used a rock to
hit and hit and he finally smashed a
hole in the big, big clay planter, so
that his friend could come out. Sima
Guang saved his friend so he wouldn't drown.
Sima Guang grew up to become a very well-known secretary of state in Chinese history. Everybody remembers him as a wise lord.
