后汉陆绩，年六岁，于九江见袁术。术出桔待之，绩怀桔二枚。及归拜辞，堕地。术曰：“陆郎作宾客而怀桔乎？”绩跪答曰：“吾母性之所爱，欲归以遗母。”术大奇之。 诗曰： 孝悌皆天性，人间六岁儿。 袖中怀绿桔，遗母报乳哺。
Lu Ji
Reserved Two Oranges for His Mother
Lu Ji of the Eastern Han Dynasty
went to see Yuan Shu in Jiujiang when he was only six. Yuan Shu took out oranges
to treat Lu Ji, who took two of them and put them into his bosom. Later, when
Lu Ji bowed, bidding goodbye, the two oranges fell out of his bosom onto the
ground. Yuan Shu asked, “You are a guest here, how can you hide oranges in your
bosom?” Lu Ji knelt down and replied, “My mother likes oranges very much, so I
want to take some for her.” Yuan Shu was greatly surprised.
