An unforgettable Lesson

In my grade school days, some of my classmates and I would spend our lunch

money at the store close to the school. After the meal, we’d walk around, talking and

laughing for the rest of the lunch hour. A girl named Nancy was usually with us. But

on that particular day she wasn’t there, and as we chatted away, we ended up talking

about Nancy. Since opinions about her all seemed to be negative, I added, “Nancy

isn’t very smart, either. She’s always asking others for their homework.”

When she saw me the next day, Nancy asked, “Did you say you thought I wasn’t

very smart?” As I stood there looking Nancy in the face, I wished a thousand times

that I could take ask my cruel words. As I began to answer Nancy’s question I

experienced the worst feeling that I had ever had up to that point in my life.

In an apologetic voice I answered, “Yes, Nancy, I said it. But I’m truly sorry.” Nancy

accepted my apology. But that day as I stood there, with my heart in my throat, I

learned a lesson: Never say anything about someone that you wouldn’t want them to

hear.

Passage

This morning I heard an interesting piece of news over my portable radio: A man of 36 and his

son of 10 attend the same class competing with each other for high marks. The story goes/It’s like

this:

The man, Li Wei by name, was too idle to learn anything when young. With little education,

with no useful skills, he could hardly earn an adequate living wage. His life experiences drove

home to him the point that he had to acquire knowledge before he was able to accumulate

wealth. So Li Wei swore that he would go to school with his son, determined to learn.

On keeping Pets

In almost every neighborhood, there are people who like pets and people who

don’t. The former group of people think that pets are good and helpful companions.

Some of them even go so far as saying that animals are as good as humans, and their

rights should be respected. Those who hate pets say that animals are noisy, dirty and

dangerous. They think laws should be made to forbid people from keeping dogs and

cats in cities and towns. The different opinions on keeping pets, which reflect

personal preferences, have caused many disputes and much unpleasantness among

people who are close neighbors.

Personally I do not like pets. But I think we should learn to respect the rights of

pet lovers. We have to right to forbid people to keep pets in their homes, as long as

the animals are properly taken care of and do threaten the safety and peace of

others.
