君臣、父子、夫婦、長幼、朋友之交，五者天下之通道也； Between lord and minister, father and son, husband and wife, elder and younger brother, and friend—these five bonds are the highways of human life;

有少弟，弟壯，式脫身出，獨取畜羊百餘，田宅財物盡與弟。 He had a younger brother; when the lad came of age, Bu Shi walked away with only a flock of a hundred-odd sheep, leaving land, house, and goods to him.

而弟盡破其產，式輒復分與弟者數矣。 His brother squandered everything; Bu Shi more than once divided his own herd and fields and gave them back.
