孔融让梨Kung Ring Leaving the Bigger Pears to His Elders

东汉时期,有一个名叫孔融的小孩,刚刚四岁。一天上午,他父亲买了些梨回来,挑了一个最大的梨子给他,他摇摇头表示不要。他看到筐子有一个最小的梨,就伸手拿了起来,并对父亲说:“爹爹,我年龄最小,我吃最小的,哥哥们比我大,大的留给我哥哥们。”父亲半天说不出话来。一个刚刚四岁的孩子就知道时时事事想着哥哥,真是个好孩子!

In the times of the East Han, there lived a four-years-old boy, named Kung Rung, the youngest of the family. One morning, his father bought back a bucket of pears. When seeing Kung Rung, the father picked out a biggest one and gave it to him. To the father’s surprise, the little boy hesitated first and then moved his head from side to side. Meanwhile he looked into the basket, put in his right hand and picked up a smallest pear from the basket. He told his father in a calm voice, saying, “Daddy, me, the youngest,  let me eat the smallest and leave those larger to my elders, please.” The father was at a loss about what to say for a long moment. A boy of merely four years old was always ready to think of his elders. What a good boy!
