陆绩六岁的时候,去袁术家做客。
At six, Lu Ji was a guest at Yuan Shu's house.
主人端上橘子,陆绩悄悄往怀里装了三个。
Served oranges, he quietly tucked three into his robe.
走的时候弯腰行礼,橘子滚到地上。袁术笑他:来客人还偷橘子?
Bowing goodbye, they rolled onto the floor. Yuan Shu teased: a guest who steals oranges?
陆绩说:我妈最爱吃橘子,带回去给她吃。六岁的孩子,心里装着妈妈。
Lu Ji said: my mother loves oranges, these are for her. At six, his heart already held his mother.
