Like Father, Like Son | 有其父必有其子

English Original

Once, a boy's grandfather beat his grandson for playing with fire in the courtyard.

The boy's father saw this and got worried about his son. So he took a stick and began beating himself. The grandfather was surprised and asked:

"Why are you beating yourself?"

"You are beating my son, and I'm beating your son," the boy's father answered.
