The Master returned from the market with his wife, heavy-laden with fresh produce and rice. His wife pleaded with him to make several trips, lest he lose some of their purchases. The Master replied: “A junzi must carry many burdens at once, in his mind and his heart, if he is to ever be put in charge over others. Only a petty man (小人), weak in both body and spirit, would need to make more than one trip from his carriage with his produce.” The villagers who heard all this were astonished and enlightened by the wisdom he spoke in so simple a thing.
