A long, long time ago, in China, there was a great mother named Mother Meng. Her son, Meng Zi, was a very intelligent child. However, the environment where they lived was not good. There were a lot of ill - behaved people around.

Mother Meng noticed that Meng Zi began to imitate those bad behaviors. She was very worried and thought that such an environment was not conducive to Meng Zi's growth. So, Mother Meng decided to move. She took Meng Zi and moved to a place near the market. Here, Meng Zi could see merchants doing business and bargaining every day.

As time passed, Meng Zi began to shout and bargain like the merchants again and became very worldly - wise. Seeing this situation, Mother Meng thought that this place was also not suitable for Meng Zi's growth. She hoped that Meng Zi could become a learned and virtuous person.

So, Mother Meng moved again with Meng Zi. This time, they moved to a place near a school. Every day, Meng Zi could hear the reading voices coming from the school, and see students politely saluting the teacher and learning knowledge. Slowly, Meng Zi also began to love reading and liked to communicate with learned people.

Under the influence of such a good environment, Meng Zi kept studying hard and finally became a very famous thinker and educator. His thoughts have influenced China's cultural and educational development for thousands of years. And all of this was due to Mother Meng's far - sightedness in moving three times for him.
