HELLO OF THE  WORD.

Once  Confucius  led students to  talk  from Lo to Qi. Among the students who go with  Confucius  are the  Blessed One  and  the Blind are the two  Confucius'

During the Eastern Zhou, war  constantly , the vassal state  of chaos , people  wandering  misery ,  misery  hunger ... Teachers and students of Confucius  has given up on vegetables and porridge esque and also many days without food, Fasting However, no one crying, discouraged ; all are  determined  according to the same master. 
Fortunately  , the first day to land Qi, there is a rich man has long heard the name of  Confucius , should give the teacher to play a little rice ...  Confucius  assigned the  Death to  lead the  disciples  into the forest for  vegetables, 

Why is  Confucius entrusted  to  Nhan Hoi  - a   highly virtuous disciplewhom  Confucius  placed the most expectations - the cooking part?Because, in the  situation of  hunger,  assigning Nhan Hoi  cooking isthe  most reasonable  .

After  Tu Lo  led the  students  into  the forest  vegetables,  Yan Hui cooked the rice in the kitchen,  Confucius  is reading at home on,  opposite  the kitchen, from a courtyard.

Was reading suddenly heard a "Cop" from the kitchen hopes up,  Confucius  stopped reading, glancing  eyes looking down  ... saw  Yan Hui  slowly opening region, take chopsticks hoeing rice for the hands and clenched handfuls small ... Done,  Nhan Hui  closed, glanced around ... then slowly put rice on the mouth ...

Actions of  Yan Hui  did not slip through the eyes of teachers  revered . Confucius  sigh  ... face up to heaven and said: "Alas!My pupil most that I go to  eat  teacher, awkward you, cut like this? Alas! How many expectations we put into it is melting into smoke! "

Then,  from the oven  and the  disciple  other vegetables brought about ...  Yan Hui  again boiled vegetables ...  Confucius remained silent  suffering  ...

The vegetables were boiled in a while. Hainan  and  Death  set the rice on the upper house; All  students  join hands to  invite Confucius to  eat rice.

Confucius  sat up and said, "My dear children! We  go from the ground hole to Te distances of thousands of miles, I'm glad the situation  of chaos , sunlight beams rain, hungry like this that the child retains the heart  clean , the baby still  loves  dum Wrapped up, the children are still a teacher,  go through  many paths of hunger, thirst ...

Today, the first day to land Qi,  lucky  how teachers teachers get a meal. The first com in the land of Qi teachers  cherished the memory of the country of Lu. I remember your  parents  ... so you want to give a bowl of rice to your  parents  , do you say yes?

Unless  Yan Hui  stand still, while the  students  are  folded hands  said, "Yes sir, it sir!"

Confucius  said, "But do not know if this pot is clean or not?"

All students do not know what  Confucius  want to say so look at each other. At that time  Yan Hui  immediately  folded hands said, "Yes sir, this rice cooker is not clean."

Confucius  asked, "Why?"

Nhan Hoi  said, "When the rice is cooked open to see if the rice has cooked yet,  unfortunately  a wind  overflowing ,  soot  and dust down the house down to dirty the rice cooker. I  swiftly shook hands  but did not catch up. After that, I immediately put the dirt out, but I thought: rice is less, brothers again, if you leave this layer of dirty rice is invisible to lose part of the food, you must eat less . So  then  you have allowed yourself and all brothers, eat before that dirty rice, and clean rice to dedicate teachers and all brothers ...

Teacher, so you have eaten today ... now, please excuse me not to eat anymore, I just eat the vegetables. And ... Teacher, pot rice was eaten before should not worship again!

Listen  Yan Hui  said this,  Confucius  looked up to heaven, he lamented: "Alas! Then there are things in my own eyes to see  clearly  but still do not understand the truth!  Alas! Little bit more narrowly as  Confucius  This  became the gap!
