鹿乳奉亲

郯子是我国东周时期郯国这个小国家的国君，他的孝名远近传播。

他的父母已年迈，都患了很严重的眼疾，为此，郯子非常焦急，为了救治父母的病他想方设法四处求医。

他听医生说，治这种病最好的办法是食用鹿乳。但是，鹿乳在市场上不能买到，到哪儿去找？即使到深山里去找，鹿见到人，早 — 遛烟儿逃走了 ! 怎么办呢 ? 郯子冥思苦想，终于想到了一个办法。

他化了装，找来 — 张鹿皮披在身上，还在头上安了假角，然后趴在地上左蹦右跳的，远远看去，极像一头顽皮的小鹿。

郯子就这样扮成小鹿，学着鹿走路的样子，学着鹿 “ 呦呦 ” 的叫，骗取鹿的信任，混进了鹿群中，取母鹿的乳汁给父母亲治病。

一次，他忽然发现林中有一支箭对准自己，顿时意识到，那是猎人的箭，猎人并不知道他是 “ 一只假鹿 ” 。

慌忙中他赶紧站起来，迎着利箭大喊 “ 别射 ! 别射 ! 我是人 !” 猎人被郯子的孝心孝行深深地感动了，竟然表示以后再也不射杀鹿。

郯子父母的眼疾治好了，他至纯的孝心终于有了回报，郯子也成了人们孝敬长辈的榜样，经他治理的国家因此变得昌盛富裕，他的孝行也被人们世世代代传颂着。

Tan Tzu was a man in the Spring and Autumn Period. As his parents were very old and suffered from eye disease, they need to drink deer's milk for treatment.

Tan Tzu wore a piece of deerskin and groped into the mountains; he sneaked into herds of deer and squeezed deer's milk to serve parents.

On one occasion when he was taking milk, he saw a hunter was going to shoot a muntjac deer, Tan Tzu lifted deerskin and appeared in a hurry, and then he told this hunter about the facts of squeezing deer's milk to cure patients' disease.

The hunter respect his filial piety and donated deer's milk. Finally, the hunter escorted him out of the mountains.
