The title of the story is “ Jingwei Filling the Sea ".
Long long ago, there was a little girl called Nvwa. She was the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan. One day, she went swimming in the sea. Suddenly, because of a strong wind, the waves were as high as mountains. Nvwa drowned in the sea. After she died, she turned into a bird with red claws and a white beak and made the sad cry of “ Jingwei, Jingwei ", so Nvwa got her new name, Jingwei.
Every day, she carried a pebble or a twig from the mountain to the sea to fill it up. The sea laughed at Jingwei, “ Poor little bird, stop doing this ! It's meaningless. You'll never fill me up."
"I will fill you up, even if it will take me thousands of years," said Jingwei. Year after year, Jingwei did the same work and never stopped.
The story teaches us a good lesson for life: Never give up in the face of difficult tasks and stick to our goals.
Thanks for listening.
