Zengzi was a famous thinker in Chinese history. And he was one of Confucius' students. The following is a story about him.
Once upon a time, Zengzi's wife(妻子)was going to the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. She said, “It is 1 far and you have to stay at home.” Her son was 2 after hearing this and cried. Zengzi's wife didn't know 3 to do. Their son cried without a stop. His wife could do 4 but to humour him, saying, “Listen to me, my dear. Stop crying and go home now. Mum will be back soon. When I'm back, I'll kill(杀)a pig to make a big meal 5 you.” When the son heard what his mum said, he went home happily.
Not long after, the wife got back home from the market. Zengzi tied up their fat pig, took out a shining sharp(锋利的)knife and prepared to kill it. His wife stopped him from killing the pig 6 and said, “We 7 kill it. I just made an excuse(借口).” Zengzi said seriously(严肃地), “How can you cheat(欺骗)a child? Now you cheat him, and then he will follow your example and cheat 8. Besides, when a mother cheats her child, the child won't 9 his mother any more. Then how can you teach the child well? So we must be 10 and keep our promises(诺言).”
Having said this, Zengzi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.
