孔融让梨(How does Kongrong share the pears?)

His name was Kongrong. He has five eldest brothers and a young brother.

One day while they were eating pears at home, their brothers let him take it first, but Kongrong chose the smallest one.

His father was surprised and asked, “ Why did you take the smallest one?” Kongrong answered, “ Because I am the youngest. The biggest one should be for the eldest one.”

        His father asked again, “But you have a younger brother. You are older than he.” Kongrong replied, “I am older than he, so I should leave the bigger one to my elder brother.”

        On hearing these words, his father was satisfied with his answer and smiled happily. What a good boy Kongrong.
