The story of Sima Guang
Once, Sima Guang and his friends were playing in the backyard. There is a big water tank in the yard. A child climbed to the edge of the tank to play and accidentally fell into Tanqueray. The water tank is very deep, and it seems that the child is going to have no roof. When other children saw that something was wrong, they cried and cried in fear and ran outside to ask adults for help.
Sima Guang used his quick wits to pick up a big stone from the ground and hit it hard at the water tank. "Bang!" The water tank was broken, the water in the tank came out, and the child who was submerged in the water was saved. Xiao Sima Guang was calm when he was in trouble, and he was like an adult since he was a child. This is the story of "Sima Guang smashing a jar" that has been passed down to this day.
One day, a group of children were playing in the yard. There is a big water tank in the yard. A child climbed the urn, slipped into the jar and sank into the water. His family abandoned him and his slippers left. Sima Guang immediately picked up a stone and threw it at the urn. The urn was broken and water gushed from the crevasse. Only those who fall into the water can survive.
