This is a very popular fable of China, many years ago some children lived in an old village, one day three of the children walked very happy towards the school, every day they did the same route, but this time for a change they changed of way , Took a dark alley where they had never gone before.

As she passed, in an old house with high doors and banners, there was a little old woman with white hair and a hump sitting on the doorstep of the house, her attention was drawn to an activity that the poor old lady carried out with such care, Bar of iron that rubbed against a stone vigorously.

The children looked very surprised as the old lady works with such energy, the bar was big, a little more than fifty centimeters and did not understand that she wanted to achieve the old lady scraping that iron bar against the stone, one of the most daring and curious children I ask.

Sorry grandma! Can I ask you a question?

Yes, my dear!

What do you want to achieve with the iron rubbing against that stone?

The poor woman, married with so much effort, stopped what she was doing and tried to respond to the children.

It is very simple! I want to wear it to a sewing needle.

The children looked in disbelief, they thought it was a joke of the old lady, but seeing her continue with so much care, they began to laugh with laughter, with little respect began to treat her crazy.

But, madam, you're crazy! How does a fifty-centimeter steel bar intend to turn it into a needle? It is impossible and crazy.

You can spend a lifetime wasting iron and believe me you will not get it! Said one of the children.

The poor old lady was annoyed with the children, her face became very sad and I answered them.

For me they can laugh all they want, but I assure you that this bar will be a very fine sewing needle, now go to school that is late and ask the teacher to teach you what constancy is.

When they heard the strong words of the grandmother, they were astonished by the answer of the old woman, with the face reddish like a tomato they were ashamed of the place.

When they arrived at the school, they sat down on their benches and told the story of the old lady to her classmates and the teacher.

The teacher listened attentively to the children's story, interrupted and said aloud.

Is there anyone in the class who can say that their friends learned today? Since no one said a word, I took the initiative.

Her classmates were very lucky to meet the grandmother, today they learned something very important.

In the classroom did not fly a fly, no one understood what the teacher said, finally one of the three children got up and asked.

What is the teaching that has left us teacher?

The teacher with all the patience of the world began to teach his students, the teaching is very simple, is in sight of all.

The children looked at the teacher without understanding anything.

Teaching is the constancy that we must have in our life, we have to work very hard for the things we want, I guarantee that old lady is going to get the steel bar in a needle, nothing is impossible if we want it with the heart And more if we are determined to get them.

The children understood the teacher's words, but were not convinced that it was true, the answer to all this soon arrived.

Several weeks later the children went back to Granny's house, found her very happy moving their hands, the intrigued boys approached to see what the old lady had in their hands, very surprised they stayed to see that what she had in His hands were a tiny needle, giving the finishing touches to the tip of the needle.
