What does it mean to translate this ancient Chinese into modern Chinese? I have never learned this ancient prose.

Ceng Zi's wife went to the market, and her son cried after her. His mother (Ceng Zi's wife) said, "Go back and kill pigs for you." As soon as Ceng Zi's wife came back from the market, Ceng Zi tried to catch the pig and kill it. His wife stopped him and said, "It's just a joke with the children." Ceng Zi said, "Don't joke with children. Children don't know anything. They learn from their parents and follow their instructions. Now if you lie to him, you are educating your child to lie to others. When a mother cheats her son, the son no longer trusts her, so it can't be used as a method of education. "So (Ceng Zi) cooked the pig (for the children).

This article explains by analogy that no matter in educating children or being a man, we should pay attention to words and deeds, not to cheat, to keep our words and not to lie. You must keep your promise and keep your word. Only in this way can you gain the trust of others.
