In a picturesque countryside, there is an interesting story about "paper can't hold fire". The protagonist of this story is a farmer named Old Man Li, who has an open-minded personality and a sense of humor, and can always use his wisdom and humor to solve all kinds of problems in life.
One day, when Old Man Li was working in the fields, he suddenly found a strangely shaped stone. The stone is oval-shaped, smooth as jade, but it seems to hide a secret in the middle. Old man Li curiously picked up the stone, looked at it carefully, and found that there was a tiny gap in the middle of the stone, which seemed to be open.
Old man Li's heart moved, and he decided to try to open this gap. He found a thin wire, carefully inserted it into the gap, and with a slight twist, the stone opened! Hidden inside was a yellowed note with a line of words: "There is a treasure here, and you need to wrap it in paper to get it." ”
Old man Li looked at this note, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. He thought about it for a moment and felt that this might be a clue left by someone before him, pointing to some hidden treasure. So, he decided to follow the instructions on the note and try to find the treasure.
However, Old Man Li did not take direct action, but returned to the village first and found a few friends to discuss together. They sat around and discussed how to interpret the clue. Someone said: "The 'paper wrapped fire' mentioned on this note may refer to the paper wrapped in the torch to light the way forward." Someone said, "No, no, I think it should be to burn the paper with fire to see if there are any new clues on the paper." ”
Old man Li listened to everyone's discussion, but he had his own ideas in his heart. He smiled and said, "I think both of these theories are possible, but we have to determine the specific location of the treasure first." Why don't we split up, trying to wrap the torch in paper for lighting while trying to use the burning paper to find clues. What do you think? ”
Everyone agreed, so they went their separate ways. Old man Li chose the method of burning paper with fire. He found a blank piece of paper, put it on the fire, and roasted it. After a while, a new line of handwriting appeared on the paper: "The treasure is hidden under the old locust tree in the east of the village." ”
Old man Li was overjoyed and hurriedly told everyone the good news. They rushed to the east of the village under the old locust tree and began to dig. After some hard work, they finally dug up a wooden box. When I opened the box, I saw that it was full of gold and silver treasures!
Everyone cheered and praised Old Man Li's wisdom. Old man Li said modestly: "In fact, this is all the credit of the clue that 'paper can't hold fire'." If it weren't for this clue, how could we possibly find this treasure? ”
At this moment, a villager suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I remember hearing the old man in the village say when I was a child, this stone is the guardian stone of our village, and there is an important secret hidden in it." Could it be that this treasure is the reward of this secret? ”
After listening to it, everyone suddenly realized that they were amazed at the magic and fun of this story. Old man Li also smiled and said: "It seems that the idiom 'paper can't hold the fire' is really interesting!" Not only did it allow us to find treasures, but it also gave us a better understanding of our village and history. ”
Since then, the idiom "paper can't hold fire" has spread throughout the village and has become an interesting story and a symbol of wisdom. And Old Man Li has also become a legendary figure in the village because of his wisdom and humor. Whenever someone mentions this story, everyone can't help but laugh out loud and sigh at the fun and magic of this "paper can't hold fire".
