Feather in the Wind美文一起学
A certain good woman
one day said something that hurt her best friend of many years.
She regretted immediately and would have done anything to have taken the words back.
What she said hurt the friend so much that this good woman was herself hurt for the pain she caused.
In an effort to undo what she had done, she went to an older, wiser woman in the village, explained her situation, and asked for advice.
Listening to her, the older woman sensed the younger woman¡¯s distress and knew she must help her.
She also knew she could never alleviate her pain, but she could teach.
She knew the outcome would depend solely on the character of the younger woman.
She said, ¡°Tonight, take your best feather pillows and put a single feather on the doorstep of each house in town before the sun rises.
