Practice makes man perfect

 Hello friends 👋, today's story is about a practice. Because practice makes man perfect. 

So let's start the story.

A long time ago, in far away China there lived an archer called chen yaozi. He was very skilled archer and could perform wonderful feats of archery.


 

 He could hit the target precisely at the centre even when it was placed at a very long distance. He liked to show off his skill to the admiring crowds that gathered around him. 


One day, he was practising his skill in front of many admires. When he noticed an old man standing at the back. The man was carrying gourds of oil that were hanging from a long cane of his shoulder. 


All other people were clapping their hands and praising Chen Yaozi but this old man was quiet. He neither clapped nor uttered word of praise. 


He just stood there nodding his head, and said, "it's just a matter of practice!". Chen Yaozi was annoyed. And said to him are you an archer yourself ? Do you think anyone can do what I can do with my bow and arrows? The old man said, no sir I am not an archer and I don't doubt your skill. All I said was everything's a matter of practice. Chen Yaozi became very angry. What do you know that you pass such thoughtless comments  on other people? Who are you? He said, please don't get angry sir. I am an oil seller as you must have guessed from the gourds. Everyday, I fill these gourds with oil and sell them. Over the years, I have achieved some skill in filling the gourds. If you allow,  

I will show it to you.  Chen Yaozi said, all right. Everybody was curious to see what would happen next. 

Patiently, the old man set down an empty gourd on the ground. Then he put a small coin on the mouth of the gourd.


 In those days, small coins had a little hole at the centre. Then the old man stood up, took some oil in his ladle and began to pour oil into the gourd from a height. The oil went straight into the gourd through the hole in the coin.


 When the old man had finished filling up the gourd. He lifted up the coin. Not a trace of oil could be seen on it. The people watching it were speechless with wonder. But the old man only smiled. As i said there is nothing special about it. It's only a matter of practice, you see. 

Chen Yaozi lost all his anger and annoyance. He just gave a short laugh and said you have taught me something important today. After that Chen Yaozi never showed off or boasted about his skill as an archer. 

In this way we have learnt that, we should never be proud of our skills because anyone can have this skill if they do practice. Because practice makes man perfect. 

Thank you all..
