TAKE TIME TO READ



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!
