Unfilial children! “养子斩冬瓜”!

从前,有个儿子,每天都要他父亲在耕田之后在回家途中买东西回来给他,偶尔父亲忘了买,儿子就大闹情绪,甚至发脾气。有一次,父亲太累了,就赶回家休息,也忘了买东西回来;休息一会儿,父亲突然有个预感儿子会大发脾气,他就急忙起身抱了一个大冬瓜,放在床上他睡的位置,然后用被盖住;果然不出所料,儿子拿了一把大刀,往床上的被所盖之处用力斩下去,将冬瓜斩成两断。真是不孝子一个!所以,古人有句话说,“养子斩冬瓜”!

Once, there was a son who would insist that his father buy something home for him everyday after working in the field. Occasionally, it slips his mind, and the son would start throwing tantrums and become very furious. On one occasion, the father was too exhausted to stop by to buy something and so he hurried home to take a rest. While lying in bed, he had a premonition that his son would be in a fit of extreme rage. So, he quickly got up from his bed and went to get a huge winter melon and laid it in the bed over the place he was lying and covered it with his blanket. True enough, the son came with a chopper and forcefully chopped into the blanket, and the winter melon was cut into two. The ancient word has it that, "Raising children who chop the winter melon." - Unfilial children.
