Among the ancient myths and tales, there is a mythical story called "drilling wood to make fire". In distant times, people used stone tools and relied on the power of nature to hunt and gather food. The protagonist of this story is a hardworking and kind young man named Xiao Ming.
One day, Xiao Ming was alone in the forest looking for food when he suddenly encountered an injured fox. Xiao Ming's kind heart made him decide to rescue the fox. He carefully picked up the fox and brought it home. After some care, the fox regained its health, and the grateful Xiao Ming decided to keep it at home to accompany him.
However, as the weather gradually gets colder, they face the dilemma of a lack of fire sources. In ancient times, fire was essential for the survival of humans, not only for heating, but also for cooking. Xiao Ming was unwilling to spend the winter like this, and he began to try to drill wood for fire. He carefully picked a suitable piece of wood and rubbed it repeatedly with his hands, trying it again and again.
After countless attempts, a faint spark finally popped out when Xiao Ming was engrossed in rubbing the wood. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming was so excited that he burst into tears. He continued his efforts and finally set the wood on fire, the warm light of the fire illuminating the room.
Since then, Xiao Ming and his fox friends have lived happily ever after. They used fire to cook food and drive away the cold. And this story has also spread among the people and has become an inspiring ancient mythological story. Whenever a cold winter day comes, people tell this story as a way to motivate themselves to face difficulties bravely and persevere in the pursuit of a better life.
