Xiaoming loved listening to stories and went to hear the storyteller every day.
小明是个爱听故事的孩子，每天都会去听说书先生讲故事。
At first, he found the stories exciting and interesting.
刚开始，他觉得这些故事新奇又有趣。
But after some time, he noticed they all seemed similar.
可是，过了一段时间，他发现故事好像都差不多。
It was either heroes fighting monsters or scholars taking exams—nothing new.
不是英雄打怪，就是书生考试，一点新意也没有。
One day, after listening, Xiaoming couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why are your stories always the same?"
一天，小明听完后，忍不住问：“先生，为什么你的故事都一样？”
The storyteller chuckled and said, "People enjoy them, so I keep telling them."
说书先生笑着说：“大家喜欢听这些，我就一直讲。”
Xiaoming shook his head and said, "But after hearing them so many times, they get boring."
小明摇摇头：“可听多了就觉得没意思。”
The storyteller sighed and asked, "Then what kind of story do you want to hear?"
先生叹了口气，说：“那你想听什么样的故事？”
Xiaoming thought for a moment and said, "Something different, with an exciting adventure!"
小明想了想，说：“我想听一个不一样的，有新奇情节的！”
The storyteller nodded and went home to create a new tale.
先生点点头，回去认真构思新故事。
The next day, he told a story about a magical gemstone and an incredible adventure.
第二天，他讲了一个关于神奇宝石的冒险故事。
Everyone listened with great interest and said, "This is much more exciting!"
大家听得津津有味，纷纷说：“这比以前的故事有趣多了！”
The storyteller smiled and said, "It seems that stories can't always be the same."
说书先生笑了：“看来，故事也不能千篇一律。”
From then on, he kept creating fresh and exciting stories.
从此，他不断创新，带来更多新奇的故事。
Xiaoming was thrilled and said, "This is exactly what I wanted!"
小明高兴地说：“这才是我喜欢的！”
"Always the same" means something is repeated without change, making it dull and uninteresting.
千篇一律，意思是内容或形式总是一样，没有变化。
