Master Zengzi's wife was going shopping and her son started crying because he was not allowed to go with her. "Don't cry. When I come back I will kill the pig and let you eat the meat," She said. When the wife came back, she saw Zengzi killing a pig; she was shocked, saying: "I was not serious about what I said. How can you really kill the pig?" "We can't deceive a child." Zengzi kept the parents' word and killed the pig.
曾子的妻子上街,儿子哭着要跟着去。曾子的妻子说:“如果你不跟着去,回来就杀猪,给你吃猪肉。”儿子同意了。曾子的妻子从街上回来,看见曾子正在准备杀猪,于是生气地说:“我不是说真的。”曾子坚持说:“不能欺骗孩子。”为了给孩子做榜样,曾子把猪杀了。
