I'll
Make Your Son Suffer, Too!
In
the Song Dynasty there was a Grand Commander who spoiled his children.
One day he came home and saw his son kneeling on the snow ground without
a coat on. Having asked his son the reasons, he discovered that his
own mother was punishing her grandson for a wrong-doing. He then took
off his own coat, and ordering the servants to tie him up, knelt down
on the snow ground beside his son.
His
mother hearing about this went to ask him what the matter was.
"You
are making my son suffer and catch cold. So now I'll make your son
suffer and catch cold too!" said the Grand Commander.
