One day, a boy had a fight with one of his classmates. After school he went to his grandfather and said angrily, "He is really bad. I hate him." The grandfather said, "Let me tell you my story. When I was a boy, sometimes I also hated others for what they did…"
The grandfather went on, "There are two tigers inside my heart. One is good. He gets on well with everyone around him. But the other is bad. Even the smallest thing will make himirate. He fights with others all the time, for no reason. He can't think carefully because he always hates others. It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart. They both try to control me."
The boy asked, "Which tiger always controls you, Grandfather?" The grandfather said slowly. "The good tiger always controls me, so I don't hate others any more and get on well with them now."
