Long long ago,the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan went boating on the Eastern Sea. At first she had a good time,but later on she was too tired to swim when a strong wind rose on the sea and turned her boat upside down. She was thus drowned, but her spirit turned into a beautiful bird crying sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”.

Because she wanted to see her beloved father again and hated the sea so much,she put some stones into the sea day after day, without a rest, in order to change the sea into the land.

From this story comes the saying “The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea”.The story was a little sad. But it tells us something important. When we do anything, we have to work hard. Learning English is difficult but if you study hard, you can learn it well.
