A translation of a famous Chinese story, by Kevin Qi
Author’s note: Apparently there are like billions of versions of this story because it’s something like a thousand years old. This translation is mainly based on a version that our teacher read out of a Chinese book, probably a preschooler’s schoolbook or something, for our accelerated college class. Also, I wasn’t quite paying attention for the second half of the story.
Some of the nuances of the story may have been lost in translation, but the important details are there.
