The groom wisely advised the farmers.

One day, Confucius took Zi Gong and several disciples for an outing on horseback. Confucius got off the horse and a group of people sat on the grass to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Who knows, their horse ran into the field and trampled the crops. The farmer scolded loudly in the field.

Confucius quickly made Zigong make amends and brought the horse back.

Zi Gong went to the farmer, bowed and apologized, with polite words and sincere attitude, expecting the farmer to turn anger into laughter and return the horse to him. However, the farmer still said angrily, "I don't know what you are talking about." Your horse trampled on my crops, you have to give it back to me! " "

Zi Gong had to come back with a sad face and report to Confucius. Confucius suddenly realized that he called the groom and said, "The horse stepped on other people's crops. Tell them to bring it back. "

The groom didn't wait to go to the farmer's side, so he exclaimed loudly, "What a good farmland! This is really a rare field. Uncle, your land is so vast, I have never seen such a good place! Hey, my poor horse, he may be hungry after running all the way. No, I accidentally ran to your old man's field. What a stupid beast! How can I have the heart to spoil such a good harvest? I must give it a good beating when I go back! "

The groom's words made the farmers smile and changed their attitude: "In fact, this land is not big, and the crops are growing well. This is your horse. Take it away quickly and watch it carefully in the future. "

The groom happily brought the horse back.

Confucius taught his disciples with emotion: "Saying anything to anyone is a very important life experience!" "
