閱讀測驗 (35-37)
      A woman had two sons, and they always made fun of their friends. “How can I stop them?” she thought hard. Then, she came up with an idea. She took out a knife and cut an apple into two pieces. After that, she put them into two different glass jars, labeled them “good” and “bad,” and set them on the dining table.
      Every time the woman walked by the “good” apple, she would tell it something good, like “You’re perfect!” and “I love you.” Her boys saw that and also did the same. As for the “bad” apple, she talked to it negatively with things like, “You’re ugly!” and “You’re the worst!” Not surprisingly, her sons did the same.
      A month later, the “good” apple still looked good, but the “bad” apple was rotten. In the end, the woman was successful, and her kids learned their lesson about bullying.
