In a school, some students didn't follow the school rules. They always caused trouble.They never meant to forgive (原谅) each other.
One day a new teacher came to this school.He told each of his students to bring a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name on it, and put it in the bag.
Some of their bags were very heavy.They would put them beside their beds at night, on the seats when they sit in a car or on a bus, and next to their desks at school. They had to take care of them all the time so that they didn't forget them. Days of carrying the bags along with them made students get to know what a weight (重量) they were carrying in their minds. After that, the students learned to forgive.
Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves!
