Two young men, one was a prisoner while the other was a famous official from the White House, both told a story about how their mothers give apples to them.

The story from the prisoner:

When I was young, one day my mother brought several apples, among which there was a biggest red one that I really wanted to get. My mum put all the apples on the table and asked us, “Which do you like?” I was about to say “the biggest one” while my brother took one step ahead and said what I wanted to say. My mum said angrily, “A good child should give the best to others instead of being self-centered.” I learnt a quick lesson and said, “Mum, give me the smallest one. The biggest one should be left for my brother!” Hearing my words, she felt more than happy and gave the biggest apple to me as a reward.

I told a lie but I got what I wanted! Since then, I learnt to lie. Later, I learnt to fight, steal and rob. I would try all means to get what I wanted. Then later I was put behind bars.

The story from the White House:

When I was young, one day my mum brought several apples of different colors and sizes. Both my two younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. My mum picked up the biggest apple and said, “It is good to get the biggest apple. Now let’s start a competition. I will divide the lawn (草坪)in front of our house into three parts, one for each. Who could do the job best and fastest would be rewarded with the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.

The other day, I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some candies in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to share his win with others. He was hesitant because he is a shy little boy, but he said yes after I encouraged him a bit.

A father and his child passed by us. I went to the father and asked if my son could give his daughter some candies that he had won. The father looked at me in a strange way and was unsure what to say. I explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. At last, he said it was okay.

We went to his daughter, but to my surprise, the little girl wouldn’t accept the candies! My son was rather embarrassed by the fact that she wouldn’t accept his candies, and then he said lowly to me, “We go to the same school, Mom.” And I suddenly remembered I had seen the little girl before in my son’s school.

When we left the supermarket, I explained to my son that people in the world today are not so open to kindness because their thoughts and opinions have been shaped by the past, and I told him not to be embarrassed. “They may have been unfriendly, but I’m sure we left them moved in some way. And the young girl will remember you as the boy with a kind heart when she meets you at school!” I said and he nodded.
