When any of his friends died, if he had no relations offices, he would say, "I will bury him."Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
When a friend sent him a present, though it might be a carriage and horses, he did not bow.
The only present for which he bowed was that of the flesh of sacrifice.
