Sixty-six cows

The 66-year-old Old Man Lu built 66 buildings, bought 66 baskets of oil, raised 66 cows, and planted 66 weeping willows... The constant accumulation of "66" stacked up a picture of prosperity! But then a strong wind blew... the buildings collapsed, the oil spilled, the cows ran away, and the willows broke... everything returned to square one. "Sixty-Six Cows" is a tongue twister, and even more so, a fascinating, dynamic story with beautiful imagery. In particular, after everything was destroyed by the strong wind, Old Man Lu, who had been slumped on the ground, got back up, built buildings, bought oil, raised cows, and planted willows again. The melody of the rhyme started anew, further showcasing the wisdom of an elder who is carefree in the face of adversity and not defeated by setbacks. Wang Zumin's illustrated "Sixty-Six Cows" features humorous and exaggerated text, rich in imagination, and has a unique rhythm when read aloud.
