A kindergarten teacher has
decided to let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the class to bring along 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 he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the
people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes;
some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry
with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet)
for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, 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.
