When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I can't 16 what it was about, but I have never forgotten the 17 I learned that day.
I was 18 that I was right and he was wrong — and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The 19 decided to teach us a very important lesson. She 20 both of us up to the 21 of the class and 22 him on one side of her desk and me on 23 . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could 24 see that it was black. She asked the boy what 25 the object was. "White," he answered.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white, 26 it was obviously black! Another 27 started between my classmate and me, this 28 about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed 29 , and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I 30 answer, "White." It was an object with two 31 colored sides, and from his side it was white. 32 from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must 33 in the other person's shoes and look at the 34 through their eyes in order to 35 understand their view.
