Don’t Have Prejudicial Potatoes

Once a professor decided to let her class play a game.The professor explained that each student must bring a plastic bag and some potatoes.Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child despised.They may be poor or dirty or have bad test scores.The students could write the names on the potatoes for no matter what kinds of reasons. Therefore,the number of the potatoes that a child would put in his or her plastic bag would depend on the number of people he or she despised.After a few days,every child brought some potatoes with a plastic bag.Some had one potatoes;some had two potatoes and some even had five potatoes.

The professor then told the children to always carry the bag of potatoes wherever they went for a week.Days after days passed by,and the students started to complain due

to the smelly smell let out by the rotten potatoes.Besides,the more potatoes they had,the heavier bags they should carry.So those had five potatoes had to bear a greater weight.After one week, the students are finally “liberated” because the game had finaly ended.

The professor asked,”How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for a week?”The children gave expressions to their dissatisfaction and started to complain of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and awful potatoes wherever they went.Then the professor told them the real undermeaning of the game.

The professor said,”This is just the situation where you carry your prejudice for someone in your heart.The prejudice will make your heart impure and you must carry it wherever you go.What’s more,it’s hard to put up with the stink from the decomposed potatoes. Consequently,this is an important

lesson in your life,I hope all of you can get rid of your preconception to make your heart clean and honst.”
