In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn't obey the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn't forgive each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.

He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. * And they had to pay attention to it all the time so they didn't forget it or leave it in embarrassing (令人难堪的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.

Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! * If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn't fight anymore. Learn to forgive (原谅), and you will be happier at the same time.

 farmer in India had two large pots (桶）．One of the pots had a crack (裂缝）in it．The other pot was perfect，and it always carried a full pot of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the farmer’s house．The cracked pot arrived only half full．

For two years this went on daily，with the farmer carrying one and one-half pots of water to his house．Of course，the perfect pot was proud of its achievements．But the poor cracked pot was ashamed (羞愧的）of its own work．One day，it spoke to the farmer，“I was ashamed (羞愧的）of myself，and I want to apologize to you．”

“Why?” asked the farmeer．“What are you ashamed of?”

“For these last two years，I have been able to carry only half pot of water，because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house．Because of my flaw (瑕庇），you do not get full value for your work，” the pot explained．

“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path，but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw，and I took advantage of it．I sowed (播撒）flower seeds on your side of the path，and every day while I walk back from the stream，you have watered them．For two years，I have been able to pick those flowers to decorate my table．So I need to say ‘thanks，to you for the beautiful flowers!”

Each of us has our own flaws．We are all cracked pots．Don’t be ashamed of the flaws．Accept them，and we can be the cause of beauty，too．In God’s eyes，nothing goes to waste．
