Rotten Tomatoes

A teacher decided to let her class play a game.

She told each child in the class to bring along a bag with a few tomatoes.

Each tomato would be given a name of a person that the child hated.

So the number of tomatoes in his or her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated.

When the day came, every child brought some tomatoes with the names of the people he or she hated.

Some had two tomatoes. Some even had five tomatoes.

The teacher then told the children to carry the tomatoes with them wherever they went for a week.

Days passed, and the children started to complain, because the rotten tomatoes let out a terrible smell.

烂番茄

一位老师决定让全班同学玩一个游戏。

她让班上的每个孩子都带上一个装有几个西红柿的袋子。

每个西红柿都会有一个孩子讨厌的人的名字。

因此，他或她的袋子里西红柿的数量取决于孩子讨厌的人的数量。

当这一天到来时，每个孩子都带来了一些西红柿，上面写着他或她讨厌的人的名字。

有些人吃了两个西红柿。有些人甚至吃了五个西红柿。

然后老师让孩子们一周内把西红柿带到哪里。

几天过去了，孩子们开始抱怨，因为腐烂的西红柿散发出难闻的气味。

Besides, those having five tomatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After one week, the children were very happy because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked, "How did you feel?"

The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through when carrying the heavy and smelly tomatoes.

Then the teacher told them the meaning behind the game.

The teacher said, "This is the same situation when you carry hatred for somebody inside your heart.

The terrible smell of hatred will pollute your heart, and you will carry it with you wherever you go.

If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten tomatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for the rest of your life?"此外，那些有五个西红柿的人还得背更重的袋子。

一个星期后，孩子们非常高兴，因为比赛终于结束了。

老师问：“你感觉怎么样？”

孩子们开始抱怨搬这些又重又臭的西红柿时要经历的麻烦。

然后老师告诉他们游戏背后的含义。

老师说：“当你心中对某人怀恨在心时，这也是同样的情况。

仇恨的臭味会污染你的心，无论你走到哪里都会带着它。

如果你一个星期都忍受不了烂番茄的味道，你能想象下下半辈子心中充满仇恨的味道是什么滋味？”

美文阅读笔记

㈠每个忽然转型的人，都有着许多平静努力却无人问津的时光。他用空闲的时间做了喜欢的事情，他不是天才，只是个努力的人。

别逃避，去提前准备，一边卧薪尝胆、一边做好随时换轨道的准备、一边磨炼出一技之长。

这些空闲时光，才能打造出一个更好的自己。

㈡过去的老巷子是生活，现在是老巷子生活着给你看。逛时尚大街不需要思考，只需懂规矩，到老巷子里灵魂可以出动，可以横行，从头到脚歇在一帧老照片里。冬夜，空静，过一座老石桥，上黑亮的石阶，有人哼起“春季到来绿满窗”，抬头见皓月当空。

㈢人们常说，一生中最爱你的人，可能是爱人，甚至是你的孩子，但很多人都错了。其实，一生中最爱你的人，是母亲。

最能衡量母爱的，并不是发生某件事时，母亲做了什么决定；而是在我们绵延不息的一生当中，母亲的爱一直都在，无论孩子10岁、30岁、50岁，还是70岁、90岁……

母亲的爱沉默无言，却又充沛强大。它能使人甘愿牺牲自己的生命，去穿透所有的黑暗和苦难，把温暖送到孩子身边。

每一对母子，都是生死之交。
