In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a person named Kong Rong. He was very clever when he was a little boy.He had five elder brothers and one younger brother.
One day, his 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 very curious and asked, “why?”
Kong Rong said, “I am younger, I should eat the smaller pear, and my brothers should eat the bigger ones.”
His father was very happy after hearing his words, then asked further, “What about your younger brother?”
Kong Rong said, “I am older than him, so I should leave the bigger one to my younger brother."
Later,Kong Rong became a great scholar.
