Praise makes good man better， and bad man worse.
Nest and Hair
My sister， a primary school teacher， was informed by one of her pupils that a bird had built its nest in the tree outside the classroom.
“What kind of bird？” my sister asked.
“I didnt see the bird， ma am， only the nest， ” replied the child.
“Then， can you give us a description of the nest？ ” my sister encouraged her.
“Well， maam， it just resembles your hair. ”
赞美的言辞使好人更好，坏人更坏。
鸟窝与头发
我姐姐是一位小学老师。一次一个学生告诉她说一只鸟儿在教室外的树上垒了个窝。
“是什么鸟呢？”我姐姐问她。
“我没看到鸟儿，老师，只看到鸟窝。”那孩子回答说。
“那么，你能给我们描述一下这个鸟巢吗？”我姐姐鼓励她道。
“哦，老师，就像你的头发一样。”
