An Impatient Youth (Chinese-English Edition): A Classic Chinese Fable Picture Book with Pinyin

Illustrated Classic Chinese Tales: Fable Stories — A Man Tries to Carry a Long Pole Through a City Gate and Cannot Get In — Bilingual, Pinyin, Full-Colour Illustrations, for Parent-Child Reading
A man from the state of Lu carries a long pole to the city gate. He tries to take it in upright—it gets stuck. He tries sideways—it gets stuck again. He cannot think of any other way, until an old man suggests sawing the pole in half. This classic Chinese fable from Forest of Jokes, the earliest collection of funny stories in ancient China, introduces young readers to the idea that when a familiar rule does not work, a different angle might solve the problem more easily. This bilingual picture book features full-colour illustrations, English text proofread by a native speaker, and Chinese text with pinyin at the back. It is designed for parents reading with children, and for young learners of either language who want a simple, memorable story with a clear lesson.
