Once upon a time in a small village in ancient China, there were two friends named Li and Chen. They lived next door to each other and were inseparable. However, they constantly argued and disagreed on everything, from what games to play to what food to eat. One day, as the sun was setting and the villagers were preparing for a peaceful night's sleep, Li and Chen's arguing had reached its peak. Their loud voices awakened the village's wise old master of the Yi Jing, who lived in a small house at the edge of the village. He had the ability to provide guidance and advice to those in need.
Curious about the commotion, the old master went out to his porch and saw Li and Chen yelling at each other. Concerned about their friendship, he decided to intervene. He invited the two friends to his house and sat them down on a cozy mat. "Children," the old master began, "Friendship is a precious gift that brings joy and happiness into our lives. It is important to learn to listen to each other, respect different opinions, and find a way to compromise."
Li and Chen looked at the old master with curiosity, eager to hear what he had to say. The wise old man smiled and reached for a small bag lying beside him. He took out three coins and placed them in Li's hand. "These special coins are called 'Yi Jing Coins.' They hold the power to guide you towards harmony. Whenever you find yourselves arguing, I want you to hold these coins in your hands and take turns tossing them. They will provide you with answers to your disagreements," the old master explained.
Excited, Li and Chen took turns tossing the coins, receiving different combinations of heads and tails each time. The old master interpreted the results, offering advice and suggestions. He encouraged them to take turns and to consider each other's feelings. "As you toss the coins, think about what would be fair for both of you," the old master said. "Remember that compromise is the key to a harmonious friendship."
Li and Chen left the old master's house, clutching the Yi Jing Coins tightly in their hands. They were determined to follow his advice and find a way to be kinder to one another. From that day forward, whenever Li and Chen argued, they would remember the old master's words. They would take turns tossing the Yi Jing Coins, learning to listen, understand, and compromise.
Bit by bit, their arguments became fewer, and their friendship grew stronger. They began to appreciate each other's differences and valued the ideas and opinions they had to offer. They discovered that they could still have fun and enjoy each other's company, even when they disagreed. The villagers noticed the positive change in Li and Chen. They were no longer noisy, but peaceful and kind-hearted friends. The wise old master smiled as he watched the two children grow closer and create a bond built on understanding and compromise.
And so, Li and Chen lived happily ever after, cherishing their friendship and using the Yi Jing Coins to guide them towards harmony whenever they faced disagreements. They became role models for the entire village, demonstrating the power of friendship and the importance of finding peaceful solutions. The end.
