Mr. Mi is from Sichuan. He has no hands. But he can eat and put on clothes with his arms.

One day, he sees a man making dough figurines (制作面塑) in the street. He likes it very much and wants to learn this art to make money (挣钱). He asks the man to be his teacher. But because Mr. Mi has no hands, the man doesn't want to teach him at first. Mr. Mi insists and the man lets him learn.

Mr. Mi learns to make dough figurines very hard. It is very difficult for him in the very beginning. He can only make two flowers in one afternoon. Every time after making dough figurines, his arms get very tired. After 15 years, it now takes him only seven minutes (分钟) to make a dough figurine. And he can make 30 a day.

Mr. Mi's figurines don't have prices. He lets people pay (支付) as they like. In this way, he gets about 20 yuan for each figurine. It is a good price!

Now, Mr. Mi has a happy family. He also lives a happy life.
