[Story]
A stranger, stranded in a storm, took shelter under a straw hut. As the rain poured down, he noticed a triangle-shaped hole in the roof. He quickly grabbed a strap from his backpack and used it to tie a piece of straw over the hole, streamlining the hut and preventing further leakage. The storm raged on, but the stranger felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that he had made a small difference in his situation.

一个陌生人在一个风暴中被困，在一个稻草棚下躲避。雨水倾盆而下，他注意到屋顶上有一个三角形的洞。他迅速从背包中拿出一根带子，用它把一片稻草绑在洞上，使棚子更加流线型，防止进一步的泄漏。风暴继续肆虐，但陌生人感到一种成就感，因为他知道自己在自己的处境中做出了小小的改变。
