Explanation

There is this young kid named Xiang who is just nine years old and at that age he already know how to warm mat/sleeping mattress aka do household chores.

This shows that filial piety towards parents is very important and that all children must be very filial towards their parents.

Then, there is another younger kid called Rong who at the age of four would give the pears for his family beforehand and this shows that the first thing the young should know is how to relate to the elders and how to properly treat them.

However, since locally it is known as Cat's Eye aka Mata Kucing , I will still refer it as Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Cat's Eye Fruit/Longan Buah Mata Kucing Please note that the Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing is not lychee fruit. Lychee fruit can be considered the big brother of Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Now, yours truly shall show you the ancient secret method of opening the rind to get to the flesh.

First method is the macho way to show your manliness by using just three fingers to open the rind and get the flesh. First of all, pick up a cat's eye fruit
