张乖崖管理县衙时，看见一位小吏从库房走出来。

Magistrate Zhang Guaiya once saw a young clerk leaving the treasury.

小吏手里藏着一枚铜钱，说：“只是一枚，没什么吧？”

The clerk held one coin and said, “It is only one. Does it matter?”

张乖崖没有责骂，带他去看屋檐下的一块石头。

Instead of scolding him, Zhang led him to a stone beneath the eaves.

一滴水很轻，落在石头上，几乎看不出变化。

One drop was tiny and seemed to change nothing.

可年年滴、天天滴，坚硬的石头也被滴出了小坑。

But years of drops had slowly made a hollow in the hard stone.

张乖崖说：“小事不断累积，也会变成很大的结果。”

“Small actions add up,” Zhang explained. “They can become a great result.”

小吏明白水滴石穿的道理，马上把铜钱放回库房。

Understanding the lesson, the clerk returned the coin at once.

从此他认真记好每一笔，也让诚实成为每天的习惯。

From then on, he kept careful accounts and practiced honesty every day.

再小的行动只要不断累积，也会产生很大影响；好习惯和坏习惯都是如此。

Small actions grow powerful through repetition, whether they form a good habit or a harmful one.
