play a game. The teacher told
each child in the class to bring
along a plastic containing few
potatoes.

22. Each potato will be given a name
of a person that the child hates, so
the number of potatoes that a child
will put in his/her plastic bag will
depend on the number of people
he/she hates.

23. So, the next day, the children
bring some potatoes with the
name of the people they hated.
Some had 2 potatoes; some 3
while the other children had 5
potatoes.

24. The teacher then told the
children to carry with them the
potatoes in the plastic bag
wherever they go (even to the
toilet) for one week.

25. Days passed by, and the
children started to complain due
to the unpleasant smell let out
by the rotten potatoes.

26. Besides, those children who had
5 potatoes also had to carry
heavier bags. After one week, the
children were relieved because the
game had finally ended….

27. The teacher asked, “How
did you feel while carrying
the potatoes with you for 1
week?”.

28. The children let out their
frustrations and started complaining
of the trouble that they had to go
through while carrying the heavy
and smelly potatoes wherever they
go.

29. Then the teacher told them the
hidden meaning behind the game.

30. The teacher said, “This is exactly the
situation when you carry the hatred for
somebody inside your heart. The stench of
hatred will contaminate your heart and you will
carry it with you wherever you go. If yoy cannot
tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1
week, can you imagine what is it like to have the
stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”.
