During the Qin Dynasty in China, there was a boy named Han Xin. He was born in a very poor family and often had nothing to eat. He often went fishing but almost caught nothing. He was always hungry.
One day, Han Xin was fishing at the river. An old lady saw that the boy was very thin and looked hungry. She gave him a bowl of rice.
"Thank you so much," said Han Xin as he bowed down to the old lady. Since then, every time Han Xin met the old lady at the river, he never went hungry. Han Xin was very thankful to the old lady. "I will find a way to pay you back someday," he said.
"Why do you promise so much when you have nothing?" she said. "I give you rice because I feel sorry that you don't have anything to eat. I don't expect you to repay me. If you are a real man, you will find a way to support yourself. "
When Han Xin grew up, he became brave and kind. He joined the army and then became a general. And later he became the "King of Qi " and the "King of Chu " in the Han Dynasty. He did many great things and helped many people.
Han Xin never forgot the old lady. He went back to the village and took her to his palace. Han Xin bowed down to her and gave her a bowl filled with gold.
"I promised I would pay you back someday," he said.
The old lady refused. "Thank you for the gold," she said. "You have already paid me back by becoming a strong and kind man. "
The Chinese saying "one rice, thousand gold " comes from this story. It tells us that we should always give a hand to others without expecting anything in return, and we should also forever remember the help from someone else.
