Story of Mencius’ Mother ß ß ß Living close to a cemetery when he was a kid, Mencius often staged the rites which he saw in funeral processions or burial services for amusement. Mencius’ mom said, “This is not the place I would like to raise my son. ” So they moved to live next to a marketplace. Then Mencius began to imitate merchants hawking wares. “This is not the place I would like to raise my son, either. ” said his mother. In the end they settled down near a school. Inspired by what he saw and heard, Mencius naturally started to imitate the courtesy behavior and study habits of the students. Observing this, Mother Meng joyfully said, “This is the place where my son should live from now on. ”
