Lessons of life: A GIRL WITH TWO APPLES
While
shopping with her mum at the grocery store, a little girl ran ahead of the mum
to the apple racks to pick apples. By the time the mum got to her, she was
holding two apples in her both hands; a green and a
red. Her mum now bent down towards her and softly asked the little girl with a smile: “Sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?”
red. Her mum now bent down towards her and softly asked the little girl with a smile: “Sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?”
The girl
looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on
one apple, and then quickly on the other. The mum felt disappointed and the smile
on her face suddenly freezes. She was shocked and tried hard not to reveal her
disappointment.
Almost immediately,
the little girl handed one of the bitten apples to her mum, and said with her
tiny voice “Mom, here you are; this is the sweeter one.” The mum immediately
carried her and kissed her. She felt bad for she misjudged the little girl’s
intention.
Moral:
No
matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think
you are, always delay judgment. Give others the privilege to explain
themselves. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others. Never
only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first. Life is beautiful.
