The hole of Chinese virtue melts the pear

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a child named Kong Rong, who was very intelligent and very sensible. Kong Rong also had five older brothers, a little younger brother, and the seven brothers got along very well. When Kong Rong was a child, he was smart and studious, quick in thinking, clever and clever, and everyone praised him as a strange boy. By the age of 4, he was able to recite many poems and knew manners, and his parents loved him.

　　One day, my father's friend brought a plate of pears, and my father told Kong Rong and their seven brothers to pick themselves from the youngest brother, and the little brother first picked the biggest one. Kong Rong looked at the pears on the plate and found that the pears were large and small. He did not pick the good ones, did not pick the big ones, but took only the smallest pear and ate it with relish. When Dad saw Kong Rong's behavior, he was very happy in his heart and thought: Don't look at this child who is just four years old, but he knows the reason why he should leave good things to others. So he deliberately asked Kong Rong: "There are so many pears on the plate, let you take it first, why don't you take the big one, only take the smallest one?"

Kong Rong replied, "When I am young, I should take the smallest one, and the eldest should be left for my brother to eat." "

　　Dad then asked, "Isn't your brother younger than you, and according to you, he should take the youngest one?"

　　Kong Rong said: "I am older than my brother, I am an older brother, I should give the big brother to eat." "
