Although a matter may be considered trivial,
事雖小，
but if it is wrong to do it or unfair to the other person, do not do it thinking it will bear little or no consequence.
勿擅為。
If you do, you are not being a dutiful child because parents do not want to see their child doing things that are irrational or illegal.
茍擅為，子道虧。
Even though an object may be small, do not hoard it.
物雖小，勿私藏，
If you do, your parents will be heartbroken.
茍私藏，親心傷。
Whatever pleases your parents is fair and reasonable; try your best to get it for them.
親所好，力為具，
Whatever displeases your parents, if within reason, cautiously keep it away from them.
親所惡，謹為去。
When your body is hurt, your parents will be worried.
身有傷，貽親憂，
If your virtues are compromised, your parents will feel ashamed.
德有傷，貽親羞。
When you have loving parents, it is not difficult to be a dutiful child.
親愛我，孝何難，
If your parents hate and you are still dutiful to them,
親憎我，
only then will it meet the standards of the saints and sages for being a dutiful child.
孝方賢。
