The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Hey, what's up? It's Mr.Wong here. OK, so a kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in class to bring 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 they hate. So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes, some had 3, while some had up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they go for 1 week.
Days had passed, 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 it is like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
Ohhh snap! This story is deep, I did not see that coming! You guys got the meaning right? OK, just making sure. Alright, so today's phrase of the day is "give props to", let's check it out!
