"I want to grind this iron pestle into an embroidery needle." The old woman looked up, smiled at Li Bai, and then lowered her head to continue grinding.
"Embroidery needle?" Li Bai asked again, "Is it an embroidery needle for sewing clothes?"
"Of course!"

The old woman's words made Li Bai very ashamed, so after returning home, he never skipped school again.Every day, I study very hard, and finally I become an immortal of poetry.
