Long ago, there was a man named Zengzi. He lived with his wife and his little son.
One day, Zengzi's wife wanted to go to the market. Her son cried and wanted to go with her. To make the boy stop crying, she said, “Be a good boy and stay at home. When I come back, I will kill our fat pig and cook delicious pork for you.” The boy smiled and stopped crying.
When she came back home, she was surprised. Zengzi was getting ready to kill the pig. His wife stopped him at once and said, “Don’t kill it! I was just joking with the boy.” Zengzi looked at her seriously and said, “We cannot tell lies to children. Little kids learn from their parents. If we tell lies to them, they will learn to tell lies too. We must always keep our word.”
At last, Zengzi killed the pig. The family had a good dinner that evening. The boy learned an important lesson about honesty.
