"Kong Rong Gives Up the Pears" (孔融让梨, kǒng róng ràng lí) comes from the *Book of the Later Han: Biography of Kong Rong* (《后汉书·孔融传》) — preserved in the *Kong Family Records* (《融家传》) cited by the Tang scholar Li Xian — the story of a clever four-year-old in the Eastern Han, over 1,800 years old.
A plate of pears, big and small, sweet and fragrant. "Kong Rong, you choose first!" said the grown-ups. The four-year-old stepped up, reached out — and picked the *smallest* pear of all. But why? Can you guess what he said that made every grown-up in the room smile?
