The meaning of this story: When Confucius was traveling east, he saw two children arguing and asked them the reason for the argument. A child Said: "I think the sun is close to people when it first rises, and is far away from people at noon." Another child thought that the sun is far away from people when it first rises, and is closer to people at noon. One child said: "When the sun first rises, it is as big as a car hood. At noon, it is only the size of a plate. Isn't it true that the sun is smaller when it is far away from people and is bigger when it is close to people?" Another child said: "It is not big when the sun is just rising. It's hot, and at noon it's like putting your hand into hot water. Isn't it hot when you're close and cool when you're far?" Confucius couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. The two children smiled and said: "Who thinks you are Is he very smart?"
