Zeng Zi was one of Confucius1' disciples2.
One day, Zeng Zi's wife wanted to go to market. Their son wanted to go together with her. He made a row, crying and fussing3 without stop. His wife could do nothing but bend down to humour4 him, saying: "My darling, go home now. Mama will be back soon. When I'm back, I'll kill the pig to make a meal for you."
When the son heard this, he went home happily.
Not long after, the wife returned home from the market. Zeng Zi tied up their fat pig, took out a shining sharp knife and prepared to kill it. When his wife saw this, she hurriedly held Zeng Zi by the hand and said: "What's the matter with you? I was only trying to humour the child."
Zeng Zi said seriously: "How can you cheat a child? The child is still small and doesn't understand things. He only follows the example of his parents. Now you cheat him, then he will follow your example and cheat others. Furthermore5, when a mother cheats her child, the child will no longer trust his mother. Then, how can you educate the child well?"

Having said this, Zeng Zi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.
曾子是孔子的一個(gè)學(xué)生。
有一天，曾子的妻子要上街。兒子吵著要跟媽媽一起去，又哭又鬧，吵個(gè)不停。妻子沒(méi)有辦法，只好彎腰哄他，說(shuō)：“我的小寶貝，回家去吧！媽媽去了就回來(lái)，一回來(lái)就殺豬給你吃?！?
兒子聽了，高高興興地回家去了。
過(guò)了不久，妻子從街上回到了家。曾子就把家里的肥豬捆住，拿出雪亮的尖刀，準(zhǔn)備殺豬。妻子看見了就急忙拉住曾子的手，說(shuō)：“你這是怎么了？我只不過(guò)是哄哄小孩的。”
曾子嚴(yán)肅地說(shuō)：“你怎么能夠哄騙孩子呢？現(xiàn)在，孩子還小，不懂事，他只會(huì)照著父母的樣子去做。你現(xiàn)在哄騙孩子，孩子就會(huì)學(xué)你的樣子，去哄騙別人。做母親的哄騙兒子，做兒子的就不會(huì)再信任母親。這樣，怎么能教育好孩子呢？”
