An An, an 11-year-old Chinese boy, was learning how to make tea from his mother in front of the tea table. He watched as his mother carefully boiled water and prepared the tea leaves. But An An was not paying attention. He was fidgeting and looking around, not taking the lesson seriously.

When it was An An's turn to make the tea, he didn't remember the steps his mother had shown him. He poured the hot water into the teapot too quickly and burned his hands. The teacup slipped from his fingers and broke into pieces. An An felt very sorry and his hands hurt a lot.

An An realized that he had not taken his mother's lesson seriously and made a big mistake. He asked his mother to teach him again, and this time he paid attention and studied hard. He learned the correct steps to make tea and promised himself to be careful.

With his mother's guidance and his own hard work, An An finally made a pot of good tea. He poured a cup for his mother and himself, and they enjoyed the warm, fragrant tea together. An An was proud of himself for learning from his mistakes and making something special for his mother.
