In the Northern Period, a family named Wen in Wenjiazhuang, Jiexiu County gave birth to a son named Wen Yanbo, whose word was generous and blessed. As a child, Yanbo was eager to learn and make progress, and he also loved to play with children of the same age. One day, the children were playing with the ball, and accidentally, the ball rolled into the hole under the old locust tree. Because the hole is only the width of the bowl, the child can't get in, so he has to pick it with a wooden stick. But the ball is light and round, and the hole is inclined, so the stick can't get out after touching the ball, but continues to slide deep into the hole.
At this time, all the children are scratching their heads and are at a loss. Yan Bo was the only one who took his time and stood by and thought calmly. He thought, this ball is like a sheepskin raft that ordinary people use to cross the river in Fenhe River. Although it is covered with leather, it is full of air. If you pour water into the hole, the ball will float naturally. So, he asked the children to go home and look for pots and pans, and then brought clean water from the nearby pool to fill them. After a while, the hole was filled, water flowed out and the ball floated out of the hole.
Later, Wen Yanbo was really a scholar, rising from a local official to the position of prime minister. He served the four emperors Renzong, Yingzong, Zongshen and Zhezong for 50 years and made great contributions to the country until his death at the age of 92.
