One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts(武术)to learn bravery. The master looked at him and said:
" I will teach you only on one condition, if for one month you will live in a big city and to every passing person on the street you will loudly, openly and looking straight into the eyes tell that you’ re a coward."
The person got really sad, because this task seemed scary to him. For a couple of days he was very sad, but to live with his cowardice(胆小)was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission.
At first, when meeting the passers, he lost his speech. But he needed to finish the master’ s task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his first passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But each time, his voice sounded louder and more confident. And then a moment came when the man caught himself thinking that he was not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him. That way a month had passed. The person came back to the master and said:
"Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I’ m not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this strange task will help me?"
" The thing is," the master smiled, " that cowardice is only a habit. And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the stereotypes. And now you know that bravery is the same habit. To make it a part of yourself, you need to move forward into the fear. And then the fear will retreat, and bravery will take its place."
What task did the master ask the person to finish?

A、To live with strangers for one month.
B、To travel to a big city and talk to strangers.
