春秋时，大教育家孔子有很多学生，其中有一个叫子羽，一个叫宰予。子羽因为长得很难看，所以孔子对他的态度十分冷淡，后来子羽只好退学，回去自己钻研学问。而宰予因为长得仪表堂堂，又能说会道，因此孔子很喜欢他，认为这个学生将来一定很有出息。
然而，事情的发展却出乎孔子的意料之外，子羽是一个热爱学习和喜欢独立思考的人，他离开孔子后更发奋努力学习、钻研，成了一个很著名的学者。很多青年因此而慕名到他门下求学，他的名声也在诸侯之间传开了。相反，宰予却非常懒惰。尽管孔子非常认真地教，可是他的学习成绩极差，孔子曾再三地劝导他，但他都不听，气得孔子把他比作没有用的朽木。
后来，宰予靠着他的口才，在齐国做官，可是没多久，就因为和别人一起作乱，被齐王处死了。孔子听到宰予的死讯，很感慨地说："从子羽身上使我明白，不能以外貌来衡量一个人；而宰予的事也告诉我，不能只凭一个人所说的话来衡量他。"
