Eraser and pencil

In a painter's study, an eraser and a pencil were good friends, but one day, they quarreled over a trivial matter.

After the painter drew a beautiful picture, the pencil said, "Eraser, you are useless. Throw it away." The eraser said angrily, "well, who said I was useless?" If you are broken, the master will hate you. " However, the pencil kept humming and ignored it. The eraser looked helplessly at the pencil and kept sighing.

After the painter painted another beautiful scene, the pencil once again felt that it was more useful than the eraser, and said to its good friend the eraser, "Look, my friend, our master painted another beautiful scene, which is not my credit-the pencil. You say, my friend, you stay here every day, waiting for your master to use you. But look, how long have you been moving? Therefore, I am more useful than my friends! " After listening to the pencil, the eraser said unconvinced, "My master bought it for my own use. One day, my master will use me, so please don't say that. " Pencils are very proud and willful. After hearing the eraser deny it, he said angrily, "Hum! You can say whatever you want. In a word, I am more useful than you. We will wait and see! " Eraser saw the pencil still like this, sighed and was silent.

Once, the painter was painting again, but the painting was not good and he was very angry. The painter painted one picture after another, and the last one looked better, but because of too much force, the refill was broken and the painting was wrong. Then, the painter shouted at the pencil: "smelly pencil!" " You are so annoying! When the refill is broken, it can't be broken at this time. I hate you! "After listening to the painter's words, the pencil was very sad and began to cry. When the eraser saw it, he quickly wiped the wrong place to make the painter less angry. Then he comforted the pencil and said to it, "Don't be sad, the painter can't live without you. Go and help!" The pencil listened to the eraser and said, "You are the most useful one. You helped the painter solve the' problem', and I will only make the painter more angry! The eraser smiled and said, "No, you are wrong." Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. You can't laugh at others' shortcomings with your own strengths. You know, you are not as good as others! "The pencil listened to the eraser and said," Sorry, eraser, I was wrong about you. Let's be good friends again! " "

Yes, the ruler is short and the inch is long, but you can't just see your own advantages and see the shortcomings of others!
