“No, I can't,” the man said.
“What do you think of my archery 4 then?”
“It's OK, but 5 special. You've gained your accuracy from a lot of practice. That's all.”

He then scooped out(舀出) some oil with a gourd, held it high and began to fill the bottle. A thread of oil came down into the bottle just 7 the hole of the coin. Everybody watched in 8.
When the old man finished, he 9 the crowd the coin. “Can you see any oil marks on it?” The crowd could not help giving him a big cheer, but the old man stopped them.
“This is nothing special, either. I can do this because I have practised it a lot. Practice makes perfect. Nothing is to be especially proud of.”
