20."You know,these cups bring to mind a story I heard,"Mary said to her friends in her home. She poured some tea.There were four of them and there were four completely different cups on the table. "I heard there was a teacher who took all his students for tea.They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different.They all took a cup and started drinking their tea,each looking at the cups of the others.The teacher said:"Do you notice your behavior?You are all looking at each other's teacup and some of you even envy (羡慕) the finer cups of others. "I put the different cups here on purpose.Life is like this tea.You all have the same thing in your cups-tea.And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of another's cup.You forget to enjoy your own life when you envy someone else's life. So now,taste your own tea.Does it matter from which cup it came from?" Mary finished telling her story and her friends all sat in silence for a while,enjoying their tea.And it really did not matter one bit from which teaup they drank.
