When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I can’t  1  what the it was about, but I have never forgotten the  2  I learned that day.

I was  3  that I was right and he was wrong--and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The  4  decided to teach us a very important lesson. She  5  both of us up to the  6  of the class and  7  him on one side of her desk and me on  8 . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could  9 see that it was black. She asked the boy what  10 the object was. “White,” he answered.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white,  11  it was obviously black! Another  12   started between my classmate and me, this  13  about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed  14 , and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I  15  answer, “White.” It was an object with two  16  colored sides, and from his side it was white.  17  from my side was it black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must  18  in the other person’s shoes and look at the  19  through their eyes in order to  20  understand their view.
