There is a prediction that the old man threw his shoes under the river three times and the young man picked them up three times. What did he say?

This should be a story told repeatedly.

Sean, Han nationality, knew honesty and trustworthiness from an early age.

One day, Sean was taking a leisurely walk on the bridge when suddenly an old man in a coarse cloth and a short coat came up to him and deliberately threw his sandals under the bridge in front of him. Then the old man looked at Sean and said, "Son, go and get my shoes back!" " "

Sean paused, confused, but when he saw his old clothes and rags, he felt very sorry and really went to the bridge to get his shoes back.

After coming up, the old man sat by the bridge and said, "Put it on for me."

Although Sean was surprised, he knelt on the ground and helped the old man put on his sandals. After getting dressed, the old man smiled a few times and left without thanking him. The old man Zhang Liangnian didn't take it to heart. Who knows that just after a few steps, the old man turned around and waved to Zhang, beckoning him to the front.

Sean obediently stepped forward, and the old man kindly said to him, "I think your baby is good and worth teaching." Wait for me here at dawn in five days. "

Sean bowed respectfully and agreed to the old man.

Five days later, just before dawn, as soon as Sean came to the bridge, he saw the old man sitting by the bridge waiting for him. When the old man saw Sean coming, he said angrily, "It's almost dawn now. Young people are so dishonest and late for dating their elders. What can they do when they grow up? " Come and see me when the rooster crows in five days. "Say that finish, the old man going away.

Five days later, when the rooster crowed, Sean came to the bridge, but the old man got there before him. The old man was very angry and said, "I heard three crows." Why did you come here? It seems that you have to wait for five days. " After falling behind the old man twice, Sean felt ashamed of himself and made up his mind not to be late again.

Five days are coming. This time, Sean went to the bridge to wait for the old man in the middle of the night. After a while, the old man came and said happily, "If young people want to achieve great things, they must keep their promises and say when they will arrive."

Then the old man took out a thin book from his pocket and said to Sean, "After reading this book, you can become the emperor's teacher. You see, my words will come true in ten years. " With that, the old man left and never appeared again.

Finally, at dawn, Sean quickly opened the book given by the old man, which turned out to be Sun Tzu's Art of War. Sean was very happy and began to study hard. At the same time, he also keeps in mind the teachings of his elders, strictly demands himself, and is determined to be a trustworthy person.

Then the old man's words really came true. Sean helped Liu Bang accomplish the great cause of reunification and became a famous general in history.
