We had a bitter altercation about a trifle. At last, I run out of the room in tears. Unconsciously, I came to the park. I felt desperated and hid in a nobodys corner to cry.At that moment, I heard an old voice asking in surprise: why you squated here to cry?I raised my head and saw an old couple standing hand in hand in front of me. I answered impolitely:Mind your own business, I wanted to cry at wherever I like.
I guess it must be a quarrel happened to a young couple . the old man said with a smile. Alas, when you and I were young, we always had altercations, however, I cant remember the last time when we had a quarrel? The old woman said.
The more I heard, the angrier I grew. How could it have such persons in this world? I felt sick for I cried in sorrow, but they still made sarcastic comments in front of me. I disregarded them and continued to cry, however, I still heard their conversation.
The old man said: When we were young, you are so stingy and bossy. And due to the disagreements between us, we always had quarrels. I wondered why you had a sudden change and became tolerant one day. The old woman said: have you noticed the big bottle in the room?Surely, it was your treasure, and you never let others touch it. That bottle contains slips of paper. I made notes whenever I had a quarrel with you, then put the slip of paper into the bottle. After doing this, the anger in my heart would almost disappear and I could speak with you calmly.
.
I forgot to cry, as I was deeply attracted by laughter and conversation of the old couple.
Suddenly, the old man whispered to the old woman:Shall we need to persuade her?The old woman said with loud smile: No, as we have given her an empty bottle, and as long as she knew how to use it to contain those unhappy things in life, then I thought she would understand how funny it was for her cry of today.
After I heard the sound of their footsteps faded away, I raised my head and wiped my tears away. And thinking of going to buy a big bottle for myself, I smile unexpectedly.
