　　The class teacher thought that hobbies (嗜好) were very important for every child. She hoped that all her pupils would have one, and sometimes she arranged (安排) for their parents to come and see the work they had done as a result.

　　One Friday morning the teacher told the class that those who had a hobby could have a holiday that afternoon to get the things they had made as parts of their hobbies ready for their parents to see the following afternoon.

　　So on Friday afternoon, while those of the pupils who had nothing to show did their usual lessons, the lucky ones who had made something were agreed to go home, but they had to return before five o'clock to bring what they were going to show, and to arrange it.

　　When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. She found it difficult to believe (相信) that he had a hobby. However (可是), at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection (收集) of butterflies (蝴蝶) in glass boxes. After his teacher had helped him to arrange them on a table in the classroom, she was surprised to see Tommy pick them up again and began to leave.

　　“What are you doing, Tommy?”she asked, “Those things must be here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them.”

　　“I know they are coming then,” answered Tommy, “and will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother does not want them to be out of the house at night because they might be stolen (偷).”

　　“But what has it got to do with your big brother?”asked the teacher. “Aren't the butterflies yours?”

　　“No,” answered Tommy. “They are his.”

　　“But Tommy, you are asked to show your own hobby here, not somebody else!”said the teacher.

　　“I know that,”answered Tommy, “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people's faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings (短处).

　 So it’s easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.

　 There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."

　 He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. "Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

　 When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, "'You are such a rude person."

　 He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.

　 If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.
