Saturday morning, we watched a video clip, a story about a monk and a boy living in a temple. The boy is not yet adapt to living in a temple in the middle of a mountain and makes some mistakes such as not recognizing toxic plants. One day, maybe he was just bored and he caught a fish, tied a rock around it, and let it go again. He did the same thing with a frog and a snake he caught that day. The monk saw the boy's actions and tied a rock to the boy that night. Next morning, the boy begged the monk to untie the rock 
and the monk said "Are you in pain? What would that fish and the frog and the snake would feel?" and promised the boy that he would free him from the rock once he found all the animals and free them. So the boy finds the fish, dead it was, and buries it. The frog was alive and he frees it. The snake was dead also and the boy burst into tears. This is the part I have watched. 
     I believe that this story is trying to give us a lesson that we should think what others would feel before we act. If I tell my friend a lie, would he be upset? Probably yes and that's the reason you should not lie. If  I hit my friend, would it hurt him? Would he be angry? Yes, and that's the reason why you should not hit others. Like this, any action could bring a unexpected sequence of harming others physically or mentally. In order to prevent that misfortune from happening, we should-as the video clip has told us- be in other people's shoes before we act. Being in other's shoes remind me of my childhood. When I was a child (I'm still young but when I was 'younger'), I used to think of only myself. Most kid are like that but in my case, it was far worse. I did not know to think in other people's positions and even though everyone smiled at me and agreed to me, they were annoyed and frustrated inside. 
     Also, we could even think that we human have forgotten how to coexist with the nature. For example, the boy in the video clip is still young but is already bullying animals in a quite cruel way. He is the reflection of human race and we are violent against the nature. I think the another lesson of the story was that we should value every living being and furthermore, try to coexist with the nature itself.
     So, to wrap up, the main two lessons of this story was to try to be in other's shoes and to value life and the nature.
