The shopkeeper returned to the rocking chair in the yard and lay down, waiting for the scissors to grind the scissors and came to him to ask for money.

Doctor Guan returned to the counter and waited for the next patient to come to see him for treatment. He pressed his arms against the counter, and one foot was on his other foot.

Seeing that the clinic shopkeeper and doctor Guan both entered the clinic, Kong De looked at the sharpening scissors, and saw that his skill in sharpening scissors was quite good. There was a certain reason why Kong De was hungry because he had no skills. Kong De himself knew this. He looked at the sharpening scissors and thought it was good to earn some food.

After thinking about it, Kong De clasped his fist to the one who was concentrating on polishing the scissors: "This gentleman, the surname Kong, the name De, Confucius, the Kong of virtue. I have something to ask about. "

The one who was sharpening the scissors was grinding the scissors. He stared at Kong De while listening to Kong De. After hearing Kong De's words, he held the scissors and opened his mouth to look at Kong De.

He was stunned for a moment, and asked with a sharpening knife and scissors: "I wonder what this gentleman is going to ask me?"

Kong De still held his fist to sharpen the knife and scissors, and he replied: "Sir, do you make money by sharpening the knife and scissors? I don't know much about craftsmanship. If you make money by sharpening the knife and scissors, I want to learn this craft."

After hearing this, the sharpening knife and scissors looked at Kong De several times from foot to head and from head to toe, saying, "Look at how you look, you look like a study student, your arms and legs don't look like you have worked. Why, do you want to learn to sharpen scissors and grab the kitchen knife?"

Kong De was still holding his fist. The person who sharpened the knife and scissors did not say whether it would be profitable to sharpen the knife and scissors. He said: "Is this sharpening the knife and scissors profitable to sharpen the scissors?"

He replied by sharpening the knife and scissors: "It's not worth making money, at most he can make a living."

After hearing this, Kong De thought it was not bad, at least he could make a living. He moved his fist and said, "Sir, where can I learn this craft?"

After hearing this, the sharpening knife and scissors looked at Kong De and thought to himself: "Where is a place to teach you a kitchen knife and scissors? This is all taught by family, and some are taught by others, and some are learned by themselves, but there is no special place to teach this thing?"

After thinking about it, the sharpening scissors replied: "Sharpening scissors are all inherited from the family, or some sharpening scissors teach you. If you have talent in this area, you can also understand it yourself. You can teach this specifically, but there is no one."

Kongde was still like that, still holding his fist. He said, "There is no place to teach this knife and scissors?"

Replying to sharpen the knife and scissors: "Where is there a place to teach this? I haven't heard of it?"

When Comte heard this, he asked, "Then I want to learn this, what should I do?"

The sharpening knife and scissors asked: "You really want to learn this?"

Kong De replied: "I am now penniless and want to learn a craft and make a living."

The sharpener asked again: "Do you want to learn to sharpen your knife and sharpener?"

Kong De replied: "I want to learn."

When Kong De said he wanted to learn from his knife and scissors, he said to himself: "I won't teach him. Not only does he have more peers and more competitors, but he also teaches his apprentices to starve the master to death."

After sharpening the knife and scissors, he looked at Kong De and said, "It's not easy to do that. Every day, he carried a bench and went around the streets to shout. It's nothing, but the key is that it suffered. The stool, plus the guys and the kettle, it's also heavy. It doesn't matter if it's hot, it can carry sweat even in winter. Think about it, it can carry sweat all over in winter, what about summer?"

Kong De heard this and asked, "What about summer?"

He didn't say anything when he sharpened the knife and scissors for a while. Finally, he thought and said, "Summer will not be the case."

Kong De is very hungry now. He really wants to learn a craft. As the saying goes, one more craft is more than one way. He thought, "I can learn a craft, and only then can I eat and eat to realize my wish to manage a safe village." He said, "It's okay to be hard and tired, as long as I can eat, only then can I realize my wish to manage a safe village."

Thinking of Biconde, I said: "I'm not afraid of being harder or tired, as long as I can learn craftsmanship and give me some food."

After hearing this, the sharpening knife and scissors, he was moved by him. Although he was a little moved by Kong De, he was a little moved and did not want to do anything for him.

Kong De looked at the sharpening of the knife and sharpening the scissors, slowly lowered the fist he was holding. He looked up and down at the sharpening of the scissors, and felt a smile appear on Kong De's face. Kong De thought to himself: "Isn't he just sharpening the scissors? Isn't it enough for me to take him as my teacher?"

After thinking about it, Kong De took a step forward and clasped his fists at the sharpening of the knife and scissors and said, "Please forgive me for offending me, I don't know that the master is right in front of me."

He looked at Kong De with a knife and scissors and asked, "What do you mean?"

Kong De clasped his fists and replied, "Please teach me, sir, to sharpen my knife and scissors, and I am willing to be my teacher."

He looked at Kong De with his mouth open and replied, "When did I say I would accept you as my disciple?"

Conde said: "It is not that the gentleman said he would accept me as his disciple when he wanted to accept me, but that he would like to accept me as his disciple."

The sharpening knife and scissors listened and said, "Why should I accept you as my disciple?"

Kong Dedao: "Please accept me as your disciple."

He looked at Kong De with a sharpening knife and scissors, feeling that Kong De insisted on being his apprentice?

The worry that Kong De became his disciple. If he became his disciple, he would have more peers in the future, and more peers would have more competitors; accepting him as his disciple can be said to have cultivated a competitor. It can also be said that he was the master who taught him to starve to death.

He was so worried about accepting Kong De as his disciple at this time. He looked at Kong De and couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing that the sharpening of the knife and scissors were only looking at him without saying a word, Kong De said again: "Please accept me as his disciple."

He sat on the bench with a knife and scissors, and his body hid towards Conde. He said, "Is there any benefit to accepting you as a disciple?"

Kong De thought about it after hearing this, but he didn't think of any benefits that he could give it to him?

Kong De couldn't think of any benefit to sharpen the knife and scissors, so he asked: "Sir, are you willing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

The sharpening of the knife and scissors asked: "How can I do good deeds and accumulate virtue when I sharpen the scissors and grab the kitchen knife?"

Confucius said: "Doing good deeds and accumulating virtues regardless of status or low status, it depends on whether the teacher is willing or not?"

The sharpener said, "How much money can I earn when I sharpen my scissors and grab the kitchen knife? Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, will I not be hungry?"

But Kong De said: "Sir, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to me, you don't have to give me money, just teach me skills. Teach me to sharpen scissors and grab kitchen knives."

I thought about sharpening my knife and scissors, but I didn’t think about anything?

He didn't think of anything, but he felt something was wrong? He felt something was wrong, so he thought about it carefully and said in his heart: "I don't give him money, what do I miss him? - Only teach him crafts? - Hey? I teach him crafts, isn't I cultivating a competitor?"

After thinking about sharpening the knife and scissors, he felt that these two ways of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue were not good for him. He looked at Kongde and said, "Even if I don't give you money and teach you crafts, it will be of no benefit to me?"

Kong De said: "Why is there no benefit? You teach me craftsmanship, you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. As more people do good deeds and accumulate virtue, the whole village will know you in the future. If everyone in the whole village knows you, you will be famous?"

He said with a sharpening knife and scissors: "When I sharpen the scissors with a sharp knife, how much good can I do and how much virtue can I accumulate? I feel like you are dragging me down?"
