Story - Zengzi godson

One day, Zengzi's wife was going to go to the street, and the younger son was crying and making trouble. There was no way, the wife coaxed her son to say: "Good child, don't cry, you are obedient at home, your mother will come back to kill the pig and cook the meat for you to eat." ”

As soon as the son heard that there was meat to eat, he did not make trouble.

In the afternoon, the wife returned home. As soon as ZengZi saw it, he immediately picked up the knife and went to kill the pig. His wife hurriedly grabbed him and said:

"I coaxed him in the morning, how can I really kill the pig?"

Zeng Zi threw away his wife's hand and said solemnly:

"This kind of cajoling is not ok, it is completely lying to the child!" Today you deceived him, tomorrow he may deceive others. I think it is better to keep your promise and not to bring bad influence to children. So Zeng Zi really killed the pig and let the child eat a meal of meat.

Zeng Zi led by example and taught his children to talk about credit.
