The Story
A very long time ago in China, a boy named Kong grew up loving books and music.
He grew up to be a great teacher and traveled from town to town.
He taught that everyone should be honest, kind, and respectful — especially to their family.
His students wrote down his little sayings so no one would forget them.
Twenty-five hundred years later, people all over the world still read his gentle words.
