Hearing the Rooster and Dancing
In the Jin Dynasty,there was a young man named Zu Ti.He was full of
ambition and dreamed of making great contributions to his country.Zu Ti had
a good friend named Liu Kun.They both shared the same aspiration and often
discussed national affairs and military strategies.
They were so eager to serve their country that they decided to get up early
every morning to practise martial arts.They woke up upon hearing the sound
of the rooster and immediately started practising swordsmanship.Their dedication
and hard work in training day after day made them both very proficient in
martial arts.
Finally,their efforts paid off.Zu Ti became a famous general,achieving
remarkable military feats and making important contributions to the stability
of the country.
This story of "Hearing the Rooster and Dancing"shows that with
determination and perseverance,one can achieve great things.When we want
to keep fit,we need to be persistent in our exercise routine,just as Zu Ti and
Liu Kun were persistent in their morning training.
