Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a curious and adventurous girl named Mei. Mei loved exploring and going on exciting journeys.

One sunny day, Mei decided to go on a hike up the magical Plum Mountain. The mountain was covered in luscious plum trees, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of plums.

As Mei hiked higher and higher, she started feeling very thirsty. She wished she had some water with her, but then she remembered the wise old saying, '望梅止渴' (Quenching Thirst by Thinking of Plums).

Mei began imagining the juiciest, most delicious plums she had ever seen. She imagined their vibrant color, the way they smelled, and how refreshing they would taste.

Suddenly, Mei felt much better! Although her mouth was still dry, thinking about the plums made her feel refreshed and energized. She continued her hike with a smile on her face.

After a while, Mei reached the top of Plum Mountain, where she found the most incredible sight – a hidden waterfall surrounded by plum trees! She filled her bottle with the purest, sweetest water and enjoyed a delicious plum snack.

From that day on, Mei never forgot the lesson of '望梅止渴' (Quenching Thirst by Thinking of Plums). Whenever she felt thirsty, she simply thought of plums and felt better. And she lived happily ever after, going on more exciting adventures.
