Paint the Lily [EPUB ebook] 

This book is part of the Chinese Classic Traditional Story Anime Series. Based on a classic Chinese idiom story behind "Paint the Lily", this book vividly depicts a competition among several individuals from the Kingdom of Chu to paint snakes for a jar of wine. One person finished painting first but foolishly added legs to the snake. After successfully painting the snake, another person took the wine and questioned the need to add legs to a snake without them. "Paint the Lily" metaphorically emphasizes the principle of not making an unnecessary move in any endeavor, as it can lead to self-defeating outcomes. This book vividly portrays the story behind "Paint the Lily" in the form of a picture book, showing strong readability and major educational significance. The book also includes a QR code that provides a video of the complete story behind the idiom "Paint the Lily".
