When Mencius(孟子) was a little boy, his father died. Mencius and his mother were quite poor. One day Mencius returned home from school and found his mother making some cloth. It was very beautiful and expensive.
“How much of the book have you read today?” Mencius’ mother asked him. “I haven’t read any of it yet.” Mencius 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 but now you’ve wasted (浪费) it.”“You have wasted your time,” his mother said, “now I have wasted mine. Look at the terrible things we have done.”
Mencius learnt a lot from this lesson. After that, he always studied hard.
