周郯子,性至孝。父母年老,俱患双眼,思食鹿乳。郯子乃衣鹿皮,去深山,入鹿群之中,取鹿乳供亲。猎者见而欲射之。郯子具以情告,以免。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
诗曰:
亲老思鹿乳,身挂褐毛衣。
若不高声语,山中带箭归。
Tanzi Gathered Deer Milk for his Parents
Tanzi of the Zhou Dynasty in the Spring-Autumn Period, was extremely dutiful. Both his parents were quite aged, and had trouble with their eyes. One day, they suddenly thought of drinking deer milk. Tanzi understood what his parents thought, so he dressed himself up in deer’s clothing and went into deep mountains. He risked to go to the herd of deer and tried to get deer milk for his parents. A hunter took him for a deer, and was about to shoot when Tanzi told him what he was doing, so finally he escaped the deadly shooting. |
