Filial piety's story composition

once upon a time, there lived a rich man in a city. He has three sons: the eldest son loves to practice martial arts and doesn't understand literature; The second son knows literature, but not martial arts; The third son knows nothing, but he is very filial.

one day, my father died of illness, and my three sons were very sad. At this time, the eldest son cried and said, "It's no use crying because his father is dead. Let's divide the property first!" " "good!" "The weapon belongs to me, and you can't move it." The eldest son said while picking a weapon. The second son smacked his lips and said, "I study accounting and can spend money, so give me the jewels." The eldest son and the second son basically took away the good ones, leaving only some books to be taken away by the third son. The third son thought for a moment and said, "My father is dead and my mother is still alive, but she can't live by herself, can she?" The second son scratched his head and said, "Let the mother live in each of the three sons' houses for a month. If she gets used to that, she will live in one!" " "good!"

in the first month, the mother came to the eldest son's house, and the eldest son asked her to March and fetch water. The eldest son

ate meat secretly in the kitchen and gave his mother hard cakes in the living room. The mother saw it and left, and went to the second son's house.

The second son was a scholar, but he was very cunning. He only gave his mother porridge thinner than water. The mother wanted to eat meat, and the second son. The mother dared not complain and left her second son's house!

When the mother came to the third son's house, the third son saw that her mother was much thinner than before, and immediately made a lot of delicious food for her! Since then, the third son has taken care of his mother alone, not only taking good care of his life, but also chatting with his mother every day and telling him stories in the book. Mother's life in her third son's house is getting happier and better, and she praises her third son to everyone. But when the third son was praised by others, he just smiled and said, "My mother raised us, and now what I have done is less than one tenth of what my mother raised us. There is nothing to boast about!"

This story spread to the ears of the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata. They sent gods to greet their mother and their third son, and named their mother as a hard-working Buddha and their third son as a filial god! Since then, the virtue of filial piety of the three sons has spread from human to human.
