Lão phu thành thật tạ lỗi với chư vị.
Người Vặn vẹo Khổng tử là Hạng Thác chứ không phải Mạnh Thang, chuyện nó thế này:
Một hôm, thầy Khổng Tử dẫn đệ tử đi qua một làng kia, gặp chú nhỏ Hạng Thác, mới có chừng 6-7 tuổi. Chú nhỏ chặn lại, hỏi:
- Ông có phải là bậc thầy thiên hạ, cái gì cũng biết không?
Khổng Tử cười:
- Cũng gần như vậy.
Hạng Thác mới hỏi:
- Vậy, tôi hỏi ông vài chuyện, ông muốn hỏi chuyện xa hay chuyện gần?
Khổng Tử nói:
- Chuyện xa trước đi!
Chú nhỏ mới hỏi:
- Vậy, đố ông biết mặt trời lúc nào gần ta nhất?
Khổng Tử cười:
- Không có lúc nào gần, lúc nào xa, lúc nào cũng như vậy.
Hạng Thác lắc đầu:
- Ông nói sai rồi! Nếu lúc nào cũng vậy, sao sáng sớm, mới mọc thì mát, lúc trưa thì nóng?
Khổng tử bí, nói lảng:
- Ừ thì cứ như thế đi, còn chuyện gần?
Hạng Thác hỏi:
- Chuyện gần nhất là cái lông my. Đố ông biết ông có bao nhiêu cái lông my?
Khổng tử mới ngửa mặt lên trời mà than như trên...
Lão phu cũng quên mất bản gốc, ai có xho xem lại thì hay. Mà cái Nho giáo này cũng không phải là thứ lão phu hâm mộ.

Tôi nhớ chuyện thế này :
Một hôm Khổng Tử cùng với đệ tử đang đi dạo thì gặp 2 đứa nhỏ đang tranh cãi nhau.
Một đứa thì nói buổi sáng mặt trời gần trái đất hơn vì buổi sáng trông nó to hơn. Đứa kia nói buổi trưa mặt trời mới gần trái đất hơn vì buổi trưa do gần hơn nên nóng hơn
Hai đứa thấy KT đi tới bèn hỏi : Ông là bậc vạn thế sư biểu vậy cho tôi hỏi lúc nào thì mặt trời gần trái đất hơn; buổi sáng hay buổi trưa.
Khổng TỬ nghe hỏi cũng bí bèn than "hậu sinh khả úy" (kẻ sinh sau thật là đáng sợ)
Vậy nhớ đừng lộn qua hậu sinh khả quý hay tam sao thất bổn thành hậu sinh "của quý" thì nguy hi, hi.......
