Who knows the story of "a straw is a lifetime" in the story meeting?

Now some young people believe in astrology and things like that, but long ago, people only believed in fortune telling. Here is a story that happened in the Republic of China. It is said that there is an old urchin blind grandfather in a village. I don't know who said that blind grandpa can not only cure diseases, but also tell fortune, which is more accurate than a discerning person. The children in the village, out of curiosity, pestered their blind grandfather for fortune telling, but no matter how the children begged him, he refused in this matter. What shall we do? Several children got together and came up with a unique trick: doesn't blind grandpa like playing with children best? The best way to punish him is not to play with him and hang him for three or five days. Sure enough, within three days, the blind grandfather could not bear the loneliness and found the children. At the unanimous request of everyone, he finally reluctantly agreed to forget it for everyone, but he made a condition. It happened that the neighboring village was singing that day. The blind grandfather called a dozen children to his side, and one gave him a straw. Then he said solemnly, "Take this straw and remember that you can only take it in your hand, not in your pocket or on your belt. If you haven't lost the straw after watching the play, grandpa will count it for you. " The children went to the theatre with straws. It's a few miles away from the neighboring village. Before they arrived in the neighboring village, more than a dozen children lost half of their straw, and several others lost it while watching the play. By the time they came back, it was already dark, but the blind grandfather was still waiting at the village entrance. The blind grandfather touched the straws in the hands of several children one by one, and then asked everyone, "Who taught you to pull a straw in the ground to cheat grandpa after you lost it?" Several clever children bowed their heads shyly and then turned their eyes to the twenty cents who taught them this trick. Blind grandpa understood, sighed, touched at the head and said, "Son, it seems that you are an official. Although I can't do anything big, I probably won't suffer anything in this life. "
