Kong Rong let the pear story

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a boy named Kong Rong, who was very clever and sensible. Kong Rong has five older brothers, a younger brother, seven brothers get along very well.

One day, Kong Rong's mother bought a lot of pears, a plate of pears on the table, the brothers let Kong Rong and the youngest brother take first.

Kong Rong looked at the pears on the plate and found that the pears were large and small. He did not pick the good one, did not pick the big one, only took the smallest pear, and ate it with relish. Dad saw Kong Rong's behavior, the heart was very happy, thought: don't look at this child just four years old, but know that you should leave good things to others. So he deliberately asked Kong Rong: "There are so many pears on the plate, and let you take the first, why don't you take the big one, only the smallest one?"

Kong Rong replied, "I am young, so I should take the smallest one, and leave the big one for my brother to eat."

The father then asked, "Isn't your brother younger than you? He should have taken the smallest one, you say?"

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

Dad heard him say so, ha ha laughed: "Good boy, good boy, you are really a good boy, will be very promising in the future."
