One day Mencius returned home from school and found his mother making some cloth(布). It was very beautiful and expensive. "How much of your book have you read today " Mencius' mother asked him. Mencius threw down his book. "I haven't read any of it" He replied, "I played with some friends of mine in the fields. " When his mother heard this, she picked up a pair of scissors and cut the cloth. "Why have you cut your cloth " Mencius asked. "It was so beautiful and now you've wasted it. " "You have wasted your time," His mother said. "Now I have wasted time. Look at the terrible thing we have done. " Mencius learnt a lot from this lesson. After that, he always studied hard. |
