I like reading very much, but ‘Wisdom bag’ is my favourite.

‘Wisdom bag’ tells some instructive stories. It teaches me how to be good. I like one of its stories very much. It is about a little boy’s story. One day, the boy was very angry. He shouted to his mother: “My best friend beats me, I want to beat him, too.” His mother listened and said: “OK. Here are some coals. You can throw them on the shirt. If you throw one on the shirt, your friend will have one bad thing.” Ten minutes later, his mother came in. She looked at the boy and said: “How do you feel now?” “I’m tired, but I’m happy. I threw many coals on the shirt, so my friend will have many bad things.” His mother signed and said: “But you don’t understand what I mean. Yes, you threw many coals on the shirt. Now the shirt is black, and you look black, too. I want to teach a lesson: when you want others to be bad, or you want to hurt others, yourself will be hurt too meanwhile.”

The story is short, but it’s very instructive. There are many stories like this in ‘Wisdom bag’. Please read them, you will learn a lot from them.
