   Mr. Robinson works at an office. Every day, he drives a long way to get to work. In order to avoid heavy traffic, he has to get up early and go to work without having breakfast. He bought some bottles of milk and put them in a big box in his office so that he can drink the milk whenever he gets hungry.

One day, after arriving at his office as usual, he wanted to have some milk. But he found that two bottles of milk were missing. He thought someone who works in the same office must have taken the milk. So at noon, he said to all his colleagues. “I wish the person who stole my milk would return it and say sorry to me in the afternoon. In fact, anyone who touched the box left his or her fingerprints (指纹) on it, so I can find out who did this by checking the fingerprints.” After saying this, he went out for lunch.

During lunch, he was thinking about what he should say to the person who would say sorry in the afternoon. But when he got back to the office, no one said anything to him. To his surprise, all his milk, even the box, was missing.

What a pity! Sometimes a little tolerance (宽容) can make our life easier.
