A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a 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. When the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he/she hated. Some had two potatoes, some had three potatoes while there were a few with up to five potatoes. The teacher told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week.

Children with five potatoes complained the most as they had to carry heavier bags. After a 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 one week?" The teacher finally told them about the hidden meaning behind
the game. (Read Related : Funny Stories with Morals) Moral of the story
