When it was getting dark, a wolf was walking along the road. Then he was surprised to see his huge shadow(影子) under his feet.

“Wow, I didn’t know I was so big!” The wolf was happy to know it.

As time went by, the sun was going down and his shadow grew bigger and bigger, so it looked like a giant.

“Oh, look at my shadow. I’m so big!” The wolf thought that he was as big as his shadow. “I’m huge and excellent. I don’t need to be afraid of the lion.”

From then the wolf walked with his shoulders open. He thought of himself as the king of the forest.

“Why should I fear the lion? Lion! Come out! Here is your match（对手）.”It made the lion very angry, so he went to see the wolf.

“Here I am. I heard you said you could beat me. Now I’m here. Why don’t you prove it?”

The lion’s sharp claw(爪子) hit the wolf’s head hard. The wolf was knocked out. “Ah, help me!”

But it was too late when the wolf got to know that he wasn’t as big or strong as his shadow. Unluckily, he became the lion’s delicious supper.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点) ?
From then on, whenever I want to judge (判断) someone, I ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? ” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly.
