Kuang Heng, the Hardworking Boy
Long ago in a faraway land in China, there lived a poor boy. His name was Kuang Heng. Even though the boy was poor, he loved reading. Through reading, he found happiness and joy.
However, being born in a poor family, Kuan Heng could not afford to buy books. So he would work for the rich and asked for nothing more in return than books. They would give him a lot books because he was helpful and hardworking.
While growing up, he had to work in the fields during the day and read at night. Unfortunately, he was still poor and it troubled him that he had to use candles to read. Each time the candle burnt out, he had to stop reading.
One night while he was reading, the moon was shining brightly. He saw a ray of light shining through a hole in the wall. It caught his attention. Kuang Heng went near to see where the light was coming from. It was actually from his neighbour’s house.
Immediately, he through of an idea. He took his knife and widened the hole to allow more light to come in. Soon, it was bright enough for him to do his reading easily.
From that day onwards, he read every night using the light coming from his neighbour’s house. He was glad that he could read more books. He was grateful to the neighbour.
Years passed and his diligence paid off. Kuang Heng was intelligent and full of wisdom. He wrote many books and became famous in China. It was his determination and diligence that made him a famous person.
