One day, atthe end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to bring aplastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.
The next day,she1 her students, "Starting from today; forevery person you don't like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write downthe person's name and the date on it, and then put it in the plastic bag."
Day afterday, some of the students' bags became very2.They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for aweek. They should put it inside their quilts at night, on the seats whensitting in a car or on a bus and next to their desks at school. The dayscarrying the bag around with them made the students get to know3 a weight they were carrying in their minds.They had to pay attention to it all the time so that they wouldn't forget it Astime went by, the potatoes went bad and4 nasty(恶心的). They all triedto get rid of them.
Too often wethink of tolerance(宽容) as a gift to other people, but it issame for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred(仇恨) in our5, we will have to carry them around allour lives.
Do you thinkyou have got anything from the wise teacher and what she asked her students todo?
