Long ago, in a small village, there lived a little boy name Saw Tha Ghay. In the village, there was a school. There were many students attended the school. Saw Tha Ghay also went to the school with the other students. He was a student who did very poorly in school work.
One day, when there was a final exam, the teacher handed out a study guide to all the students. But Saw Tha Ghay was very bad at studying. He knew he was not going to pass the test.
One morning, Saw Tha Ghay went down to his flower garden along with the study guide that the teacher had given him. He sat on a bench in his flower garden and started studying. But he got tired of studying because he did not know what he was studying. He felt like quitting.
Saw Tha Ghay looked up and saw a lot of flowers and one big tree with lots of branches. On one branch, he saw a small snail who was slithering up the branch. But the snail kept falling back down the branch. However, the snail kept trying and failed again and again and again. On the seventh time, the snail finally succeeded.
Saw Tha Ghay thought to himself, if I try very hard just like this little snail, and if I keep studying over and over and try my best, I will succeed too. Saw Tha Ghay succeeded in the exam because he didn't quit. He learned from the little snail that if we truly put our heart into what we want, we can truly succeed.
