Once, there were two hard-working children, Che Yin and Sun Kang. They loved reading, but their families were poor and didn’t have enough money to buy lamp oil (灯油) for the children to study at night. How did they get over the difficulty? Here are their stories.

Che Yin’s story began on a hot summer night. He saw fireflies (萤火虫) flying and an idea came into his mind. He caught some fireflies, put them in a bag and hung it up as a lamp. He spent all of his summer nights reading like this.

The other story happened in winter. Sun Kang woke up on a cold night. He saw the moon shine so brightly (明亮地) on the snow and it made the night brighter. “I can read with it!” he thought. So he took his books outside and read, even though it was very cold.

Later, Che Yin and Sun Kang became successful. Their stories were turned into Chinese words “nangying yingxue”. Difficulties cannot stop young minds from learning. If there is a will, there is always light on the road to knowledge (知识).
