THE STORY
BAG OF POTATOES
-----------------
A teacher decided to let her class play game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. 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.

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated.Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to bed)for 1 week.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?"

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

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your 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 you 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?"

Moral of the story: Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry a heavy burden...!!!

 
SUNNAH (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW)

When a person comes to meet you, move a little even though there is ample place. This is also Sunnah and through it, the one arriving will feel honoured.

(Zaadut - taalibeen - narrating from Baihaqi)

HEALTH TIPs
You have heard people complaining -

· every time I eat water-melon I burp,
· when I eat durian my stomach bloats up,
· when I eat banana, I feel like running to the toilet etc -

The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! Actually, all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach.

A THOUGHT

LOVE VALUES
-------------
One had lost his heart and bidden farewell to his life because the target which he aimed at was in a dangerous locality, portending destruction and no chance promising a morsel easily coming to the palate nor a bird falling into the trap.

When thy sweetheart's eye has no regard for gold
Mud and Gold are of equal value to thee.

~ GULISTAN ~
