| A Story About Confucius (孔子) One day Confucius, with his disciples (门徒), went to the Jin State to give lectures. When passing by a city, they were stopped by a seven-year-old boy. "Better make a detour (绕道走) by passing round the city," said the boy. "Young boy, let us pass," Confucius got off his carriage and said. "I'm going to the Jin State to give lectures. Let us pass by, please!" begged Confucius. "You're going to give lectures? A teacher should be rich in knowledge. What do you know?" "I know a little about astronomy (天文) and geography," answered Confucius, with one hand stroking his beard (捋胡子). "Really?" the boy laughed." Do you know the number of hair that makes up your beard?" "I can't see my own beard. How can I count it?" "Then the stars in the sky can be seen. Do you know how many stars there are in the sky?" added the boy. "There are innumerable (无数的) stars in the sky that I can't count them," said Confucius in embarrassment (窘迫地). "But there is only one sun in the sky. Do you know how far it is from us?" Confucius could say nothing. "My wisdom and learning are so little. I really don't know the things you asked. I'm willing to take you as my teacher." With these words, Confucius bowed to the boy. From then on, Confucius often told his disciples, "Among any three people, there must be one who can be my teacher." |
