The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high. The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! Youll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum. He told his mum his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do.” Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, its too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.Then he crossed the river carefully.

In the year 359 BC, he prepared for a political reform to promote the economic development. But he was afraid that the people would not believe local authorities. He thought an idea. One day, he had a 10-meter long pole erected at the south gate outside the capital. Then he told the crowd whoever took the pole to the north gate would be awarded 10 ounces of silver. Everyone was astonished, but nobody dared to have a try. After seeing that, Shang Yang raised his voice and said:“ Anyone who carries the pole to the north gate will get 50 ounces of silver.“ A brave man did it and was be given 50 ounces of silver. Others felt very reGREtful. In this way, Shang Yang achieved his aim successfully. Soon the state of Qin became the strongest country. Later, people use it to praise the man who keeps his promise.
