    "Old grandma, why are you grinding this iron rod?"

    老婆婆说:“磨成针。”

    The old woman replied: "To make a needle."

    这时候,李白更觉得奇怪了,又问:

    At this moment, Li Bai felt more curious and asked again:

    “这么粗的铁棒,您怎么能磨成针呢?”

    "How can you grind such a thick iron rod into a needle?"

    老婆婆告诉他说:

    "Yes, I can. I certainly can," the old woman said. "If one works with constant effort, one can grind an iron rod into a needle."

    “能,一定能!只要功夫深,铁棒就能磨成针。”

    Hearing the old woman's words, Li Bai was enlightened.

    李白听了老婆婆的话,心里忽然明白了。

    Since then, Li Bai studied hard and made rapid progress. Eventually he became a famous poet.
 

    从此,李白刻苦读书,进步很快。后来,他终于成了一位有名的诗人。
