中國二十四孝民間雙語故事:老萊子戲綵娛親大綱

Lao Laizi was an anchorite in Spring and Autumn Period. He did farming at the south side of Meng Mountain to avoid the chaos in that period.

老萊子，春秋時期楚國隱士，爲躲避世亂，自耕於蒙山南麓。

He held great filiality to his parents.

他孝順父母

He fed the parents with the most delicious food; entertained them with drum-shaped rattle playing when he was in his 70s, wearing colored clothes just like a child.

盡揀美味供奉雙親，70歲尚不言老，常穿着五色彩衣，手持撥浪鼓如小孩子般戲耍，以博父母開懷。

Once, when he was on his way to bring water to his parents, he tumbled.

一次爲雙親送水，進屋時跌了一跤

He thought the parents might be worried about him, he just cried on the floor like a child, which made the parents laughed.

他怕父母傷心，索性躺在地上學小孩子哭，二老大笑。
