**Kong Rong and the Pears**
Once upon a time in ancient China, there was a **young boy named Kong Rong**. He was very polite and kind, even when he was little.([Story Kingdom | 故事王國 |][1])
One day, his family had a **basket of pears**. All the children could choose a pear to eat. The big brothers quickly picked the **big, juicy pears**. But when it was Kong Rong’s turn, he did something surprising.([Sohu][2])
Instead of choosing a big pear, **Kong Rong picked the smallest one**. His father asked, “Why did you choose the smallest pear?”([Story Kingdom | 故事王國 |][1])
Kong Rong smiled and said, “I am young, so I should take the small pear. My older brothers should have the bigger ones.”([Sohu][2])
His parents were very proud of his **kind heart and respect for others**. This story teaches us to **think of others first** and be kind.
