I am young so eating this small pear is
enough(孔融讓梨)
The Eastern Han Dynasty in China had a
famous minister named (Kong Rong). He is a descendant of the 20th generation of
Confucius.
His story is recorded in the history books.
This story is a story that almost everyone in China knows.
He has seven brothers, and he is the sixth
among the seven boys.
One day, his father brought back a bag of
pears.
This is August of the year, the season when
pears are abundant.
His mother washed the pears and put them on
a plate, and the family gathered in the living room.
He was only four years old at the time, and
he suddenly walked towards the plate of pears.
His father laughed.
I think you really want to eat pears, let's
let you choose a pear first.
He reached out and picked up a pear, but he
put it down after thinking about it.
He reached out again and chose the smallest
of the pears.
The whole family was amused by his cute
gestures and expressions.
Asked his father.
Why did you give up the big pear and
re-select the smallest pear?
He said to his dad seriously.
I have the smallest body, so eating this
smallest pear is enough.
Your bodies are bigger than mine, so you
should eat bigger pears.
The whole family was surprised by his
answer.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
knows how to be courteous.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
When you were a child, did you say anything
that surprised your family? Did you have children? Did the children do anything
that surprised you?
I hope this story will give you something new to gain.
孔融讓梨(I am young so eating this small pear
is enough)
中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(孔融)。他是孔子的第20代的子孫。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。這個故事是一個在中國幾乎人人都知道的故事。
他有七個兄弟，在這七個男生之中他排行第六。
有一天，他的爸爸拿回來一袋梨。
這是一年中的八月，是梨子盛產的時節。
他的媽媽洗好了梨並放在盤子上，全家人聚集在客廳。
他當時只有四歲，他突然走向這盤梨。
他的爸爸笑著說。
我覺得你很想吃梨呢，我們讓你先選一顆梨吧。
他伸出手拿起一顆梨，但他想了想之後就放下這一顆梨。
他又伸出手並從這些梨中選擇了一顆最小的梨。
全家人都被他可愛的動作與表情逗笑了。
他的爸爸問。
你為何放棄那棵大梨並重新選擇了這一顆最小的梨呢?
他很正經地對他的爸爸說。
我的身體最小，所以吃這個最小的梨就夠了。
你們的身體都比我大，所以你們應該吃大一點的梨。
全家人都對他的回答感到驚訝。
這句成語被用來形容一個人懂得禮讓。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你還是孩子的時候，有沒有說過甚麼讓你的家人覺得驚奇的話呢?你是否有小孩呢?這些小孩有沒有做過甚麼令你驚奇的舉動呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
