Four girls go to school every day by taxi. One day one of the girls says, "There is a test this morning. Let's get to school late. Then we will not have the test." "What can we tell the teacher?" One of the girls says. "He will be angry. We will need a good excuse." The girls think for a moment, then one of them says, "Let's tell him that our taxi has a flat tire(瘪胎)." "That's a good idea," the other girls say. "We will tell him that." They get to school an hour later. The test is over. "Why are you late?" The teacher asks, "Sit down, one of you in each corner(角落) of the classroom." The four girls do this. Then the teacher says,"Write down a piece of paper the answer to this question: Which tire is flat."
Getting into the habit of giving and receiving helps build good relationships(关系).
It makes us feel more care. It stops stress(压力)from building because we know someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we're sharing it before it gets too big. It just feels great to help.
Try these small things at home, and see how they make you feel:
⒈ Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.
⒉ Help your mom prepare dinner.
⒊ Help your dad carry living goods.
⒋ Offer to do a chore that is not usually yours.
There is more to it than just feeling good: kindness is contagious(有感染力的). It can create more kindness, so you might start to notice your friends reaching out to help more.
Just don't fail into the trap(陷阱) of expectation. If we help out only because we expect other persons to do something in return(回报), we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of feeling satisfied and happy. So decide to help simply because of helpful feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you, it is a wonderful surprise.
Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supportive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we are better able to solve problems, bounce(弹) back from disappointments and try again.
Mr. Smith had two sons. One is seven years old, and the other is five. One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets
"Sweets are bad for your teeth," Mr. Smith said, "Take these two oranges instead, and give one to your elder brother." One of the oranges is quite a lot bigger than the other one, and as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.
When the other boy saw that his brother had a much larger orange than his own, he said to him, "it is selfish to take the bigger one for yourself. If father had given me the oranges, I'd have given you the bigger one."
"I know you would," answered his brother. "That is why I took it."
