The youngest son grabbed his mother's clothes and cried and made trouble. I want to go with you! ? Zeng's wife was very unhappy.

She quickly stopped Zeng Shen and said, Oh, this pig is too small. How can you kill it now? ?

How can you really kill a pig? Zeng Shen said to his wife earnestly:? Children can't be deceived. He is too young to understand. He can only imitate his parents and believe what they say. If we don't keep our promise today, the child will learn to lie. Besides, will he believe us in the future? Zeng Shen finally persuaded his wife to really kill the pig. Educational philosophy: To educate honest children, parents should be honest first.
