An old Indian man called his three sons to his side before he died and said to them, "Children, I have been poor all my life, and now I am leaving you." This 19 cow is the only property I left you.

Shepherd governor
Once upon a time, there was a governor named Ali in Baghdad. Sultan (the monarch of Islamic countries) likes him very much, but his subjects are afraid of him. Ali is a real Muslim, a stuffy Turk. Every day at dawn, he spread a carpet on the floor, respectfully facing Mecca and began to wash his hands and pray. As soon as the pious ceremony was over, two slaves in red brought him a pipe and coffee. Ali sat cross-legged on the sofa and didn't move all day. He sipped hot, dark and bitter Arabic coffee and slowly smoked a pipe full of Smirner leaves. Ali closed his eyes, doing nothing and thinking nothing. This is his ruling method.
According to Istanbul's order, he must pay the governor's tax of one million silver dollars to the state treasury every month. On this day, kind Ali interrupted the rest and tranquility of the past. He summoned all the richest businessmen in Baghdad and politely asked them for two million silver dollars. Some of these poor people put their hands in the air, some beat their chests, some stroked their beards and cried and swore that they didn't even have a para. They asked for sympathy from the governor and forgiveness from Sudan. As for Ali, he kept drinking coffee and had people beat the soles of his feet with sticks until he handed over the money. Businessmen always say that they have no money, but in the end they always don't know where to get money to pay taxes. After counting the money, the loyal officer gave half to the Sudan and the other half to Ali's box. Then Ali started smoking again.
On the day of tax collection, although Ali was patient, he sometimes complained that the majesty and worry of power had brought him a lot of troubles. However, the next day, he thought nothing. The next month, he still used this calm and casual attitude to collect taxes. It can be said that Ali is really a model governor.
Apart from pipes, coffee and money, Ali likes his daughter Sharshan Madjo best. It is not unreasonable to like her, because she is like a mirror, from which Ali can see all his moral qualities. Salshan Madeleine is very beautiful, but she is lazy. If you leave the company of three slave girls, the girl will not leave one step: a white slave girl combs her hair and washes her face; A yellow slave holds a mirror or a fan for her; The other is that the slaves make faces to make her happy, ready to accept the gentleness of the young lady when she is happy or the fist when she loses her temper. Every morning, the governor's daughter always goes out in a big ox cart. She will spend three hours in the bathtub and spend the rest of the time wandering around, eating rose sauce or drinking pomegranate juice. Or watch dancing or laugh at her friends. At the end of the whole day, she went back to the palace, hugged her father, fell asleep and didn't even dream. As for reading, thinking, embroidery and playing music, it is simply a kind of fatigue for Sharshan Madeleine. She used these things to "take care of" her slave girls. The daughter of a young, beautiful and rich governor was born for pleasure, of course. Is there anything more fun and glorious than fooling around? This is the logic of the Turks. However, disciple _ _ doesn't think so in this respect.
There is no pure happiness in the world, otherwise people will not yearn for heaven. Ali is an example. There will be taxes again one day. Ali, a violent governor, is not as clever as usual. He accidentally hit a Greek disciple, who was protected by Britain. It is undoubtedly his right for the person who was beaten to shout. But the British consul who didn't sleep well shouted louder than the person who was beaten, and the British Empire, known as the "land that never falls", shouted even more fiercely than the consul. They shouted in the newspaper and cursed endlessly in the parliament. They waved their fists at Mr. Dambur.

The origin of "Mount Webertu"
This story happened in medieval Germany in the year of 1 14 1.
Wolff, Duke of Bavaria, was trapped in his city of Winsburg. Outside the castle are the troops of Frederick, Duke of Swabi, and his brother Connor, King of Germany. The siege has been going on for several months, and Wolff knows that he can only surrender.
Messengers began to shuttle frequently between the two armies, the conditions for surrender were listed, the conditions were agreed, all the arrangements were completed, and Wolff and his officers were ready to hand themselves over to their sworn enemies.
But the women in Winsburg are not ready to give up everything. They sent a message to King Connor of Germany, demanding a commitment to ensure the safety of all women and children in Winsburg and allowing them to take everything with their hands when they left.
Their request was granted, and then the door of the castle opened.
The women came out-everyone outside the castle was surprised at what they saw: every woman's waist was bent low, but they held her husband tightly instead of gold or jewelry. They want to save their men and can't let their men be retaliated by this victorious army.
It is said that the kind king Connard was moved to tears by this feat. He immediately announced to these women to ensure that their husbands have complete safety and freedom.
Then, the king and the Duke of Bavaria signed a peace treaty, and the money in the treaty was much more friendly than the Duke expected. Because, the wise German king Connor knew that a caring group could not be conquered.
Since then, Winsburg has changed its name to "Webotu Mountain". "Webotu" means "female loyalty" in German.
Courage comes from true love, so does wisdom. The women in Winsburg proved this with their actions. When you have "faithful love", you will become brave and invincible. Only love can arouse the strongest sense of responsibility. A strong sense of responsibility can make people desperate.

Watt's story
Watt is a famous British scientist.
In Watt's hometown of Greenock, every family makes a fire to boil water and cook. Who has paid attention to this cliche? Watt left his heart. Once, he watched grandma cooking in the kitchen. There is a pot of boiling water on the stove. The boiling water boiled, and the lid kept jumping. Watt observed it for a long time and felt very strange. He couldn't figure out why, so he asked his grandmother, "Why is the lid beating?"
Grandma replied, "When the water boils, the lid jumps."
Watt asked discontentedly, "Why does the water jump as soon as the lid is opened?" ? Is something pushing it? "
Maybe grandma was too busy to answer him and said impatiently, "I don't know." What's the point of children asking these questions? "
Although Watt didn't find the answer from his grandmother, he didn't lose heart.
For several days in a row, whenever cooking, he squatted by the fire and observed carefully. At first, the lid was very stable. In a short time, the water will boil and make a "splash" sound.
Suddenly, the steam in the pot came out and pushed the lid to jump. The steam kept rising, and the lid kept beating, as if a magician was hiding inside and playing. Watt almost cried out for joy. He opened the lid, closed it again and again, and verified it again and again. He also covered the cup and spoon that sprayed steam. Watt finally figured out that steam pushed the lid to jump, and the power of this steam was not small.
He thought that the steam in the pot could push the lid open. If you use a cauldron to boil water, it will produce a lot of steam. Can't you push something heavier?
Watt has been thinking about how to use water vapor since he grew up. Later, after many experiments and learning from others' experience, he finally invented the steam engine.
