Kong Rong and the Pears

Long long ago, there was a boy named Kong Rong. He was very clever and polite. He had five elder brothers and one younger brother. One day, their father picked some pears and gave the biggest one to Kong Rong. But Kong Rong shook his head and picked up the smallest one.

His father was surprised and asked, "Why did you take the smallest one？" Kong Rong 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." Kong Rong 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.

Kong Rong's behavior showed his respect for his elders and his willingness to share. This story teaches us the importance of being kind and considerate to others, especially those older than us.
