A Nice story with a good moral.
Please go through.
A kindergarten teacher decided to let
her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the
class to bring along a plastic bag
containing a few potatoes.
Each potato will be given a name of a
person that the child hates.
So the number of potatoes that a
child will put in his/her plastic bag
will depend on the number of people
he/she hates.
So when the day came, each child
brought some potatoes with the
name of the people he/she hated.
Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while
some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher
then told the children to carry with
them the potatoes in the plastic bag
wherever they go (even to the toilet)
for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the
children started to complain due to
the unpleasant smell let out by the
rotten potatoes. Besides, those
having 5 potatoes also had to carry
heavier bags. After 1 week, the
children were relieved because the
game had finally ended…
The teacher asked: “How did you feel
while carrying the potatoes with you
for 1 week?”. The children let out
their frustrations and started
complaining of the trouble that they
had to go through having to carry the
heavy and smelly potatoes wherever
they go.
Then the teacher told them the
hidden meaning behind the game.
The teacher said: “This is exactly the
situation when you carry your hatred
for somebody inside your heart. The
stench of hatred will contaminate
your heart and you will carry it with
you wherever you go. If you cannot
tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes
for just 1 week, can you imagine what
is it like to have the stench of hatred
in your heart for your lifetime???”
Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone
from your heart so that you will not
carry sins for a lifetime.
Forgiving others is the best attitude
to take!
