This is a well-known anecdote story about a famous Chinese writer called Kongrong from the Eastern Han dynasty. Kongrong knew manners well since he was a little kid. One day, his mother brought in a plate of pears and his older brothers asked him to pick first. What Kongrong did shocked everyone in the room... 孔融是东汉时期的文学家。他从小就十分懂事。 孔融四岁那年，有一天，母亲端来一盘梨给孩子们吃。几位兄长让孔融先拿。孔融看了看，拿了一个最小的。 父亲看见了，问孔融："盘子里那么多梨，你为什么不拿大的，只拿小的呢？" 孔融说："我年纪小，吃小的，大的让兄长吃。" ——摘自http://www.taozhi.cn/a/128302.htm Subscribe to our newsletter: https://goo.gl/forms/iGzDQVYToF7Rivo42
