I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed. Our dog, whom we loved very much, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.
I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and suddenly, I thought of my dog bit my father 20 years ago. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal(背叛，辜负).
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. Much the same for the other story when I learned my friend’s wife had just left him.
We all have different opinions and feelings. And all of those can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by other people,because they are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone who acts in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient. You may turn around a story by your actions.
