Read the following story and in the comments sections list the following:
What do you believe the moral of this story is and write a paragraph about a time when something like this has happened to you. How did it make you feel & did you apologize? (NO LESS THAN 5 SENTENCES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT TO EARN ANY CREDIT).
A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of an airport. She needed to wait a long time, so she bought a book to read & a package of cookies. She sait down in her chair to wait for her flight and read & rest. By the chair where her cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magagine & started reading too.
When she opened the package of cookies & took out her first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing! She thought..."What nerve...I can't believe he would dare to take my food". For each cookie she took, the man took one also. This was infuriating to her but she didn't want to cause a scene.
When only one cookie remained, she thoguht..."Ah....what is this jerk of a man doing now?" Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it in half, giving her one half just as she heard her boarding call. Ugh.......That was too much! She was very angry now! In a huff, she took her book, her things, and stormed off to board her plane. When she found her seat inside the plane and sat down, she looked into her purse to get her glasses. To her surprise, her packet of cookies were there......untouched....unopened!
She felt so ashamed! She realized she was wrong.....she had forgotten that her cookies were in her purse and she had been eating the stranger's cookies all along. The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter.....while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. She shamefully looked around the plane but did not see the man anywhere. And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to apologize!

What I learned that when the other person was not doing anything and you got mad at them for no reason an it is your fault for taking someone food by accident or somthing thats what i learned hahahah.
When me and my cousion was eating food in his room like chips we both had two bags of chips and i left mine in the kitchen and i was eating his i thought those were mine and he was eating from my bag of chips so i got mad at him and told him to stop eating my chips.then he told me those were his chips and i went to go look for my bag of chips they was in the kitchen the whole time I was so mad at myself and he made me give half of the chips to him cuz he wanted some of my chips because i ate half of his chips. so i didnt get that much chips hahah. so then i apologized to him and we got some more chips and i made sure it was my bag of chips the end. ☺♦☺☻Garrett☺☻↨♠♣♦
The moral of this story is that people are different some people get mad about stuff and the person is calm.
one time i went to camp and i was a bunk below a kid and he took my bug spray and kept using it and i was calm and at the end of the camp he was packing his stuff into his duffle bag and found his bug spray and he appolagiesed.

it was common to be mad at first when she thought he was eating her cookies. but when she saw they wern't hers she learned an important lesson. never asum anything and when you do share. it's like that comment last week. you can really learn alot from them.
one time that happened to my best friend she thought that another friend was making fun of her when she fell in gym but she was just laghing at a thing she said before that. and she isn't talking with her anymore beacause of that and it's a very stupid thing to do when you could just apologize.

From the ladie's point of view she should have not got so mad when he took some of "her" cookies. She should have let him take some. He may have been homeless and hungry. From the man's point of view he was right in sharing with the woman. So the moral of this story is share with people and don't jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story.
I remember a time when a man thought somebody had stole his lawn mower and he got all fired up and mad. Turns out his highschool kid that he had working for him had left it at a sevice station where they had been mowing. Both of them forgot about it.
the moral of the story is a lady who made a big mastac by eating the strangers cookies and she felt bad thats the moral.
i have done the same thing before. once my mom boght me and my friend a root beer and when we were eating dinner i mistakenly drunk my friends root beer i felt terriable. i gave my friend my root beer and he didnt get mad at all he forgave me.

my sisters will HAVE A CHAPSTICK AND WILL FIGHT BECAUSE they think its theres.my sisters have to share so they fight alot.my sister share a room so they fight alot over it.my sisters share alot more now so they dont fight no more.

The lession is to not guess that it was yours.Something like this has happened to me.I got a new pare of sun glases and i went to school with.Them on and my friend had the exact same pare.And i took them and she called me and asked if i has seen them.Iasked her what they looked like and they wher just like my sun glases.And i went to her house and gave.Them back and apaligized and said it was a silly mistake.By Shannon Horch
i learned that dont asum things becuse u can be rong.
my sister got twenty dollers and so did i.but i tuck hers and sead it was mine.but come to find out it was hers:):):):):):)
it was bad:(
david
she sould of not been so snobby about the guy sitting beside him.and she sould of apoligized about eating his cookies.she sould of felt bad about eating his cookies.i have never had something happen like this.never before in my live.
travis
the lesson to learn is to dont doubt other people for making the mistake that was acually you did. And it was your fault.
my example was when i ran across the yard and my brother shot my hand and i totally fliped.after that i said i was sorry.then we made up.then he weant and shot me again.this time i did not flip on him this time but this time it took my skin with it.it really hurt.

I think lesson there. Was to see what your doing intead of was someone else is doing.one time saw a movie.Of someone looking for someone to retun something that they thought theres.But countnt find them and gives up.
I think this lady should have looked to see whos they where.
my example is me and my brother where out side and he would not give me the base ball bat so i ran over to him and sayed it was my turn and he sorry and we went on with the game.

I like the story! I once did that with my friend when we were talking I thought she said something else and I totaly said thet I was sorry.I felt realy bad. I appiligized and she forgave me!Love the story and think she shouldn't have gotten mad at it!:]
Brionna halverson
The moral of this story is that if you don't know it's yours then dont get mad. About it and check before you get mad. I know one time i blamed my brother for deleting my video game profile. And I got so mad i didn't talk to him for a hour. Then i double checked and i found my profile he just made one on mine so then i apologized
Brenden Hill
I think the moral if the story is tht you should always be nice. One time i was with my friends and two of them got into a fight. It made me feel mad because were all friends we shouldent fight. My friends were fighting about who said what. In the end my frinds apolojized to each other.
Addie Pulsipher
I think that the moral of this story is to not judge others. One time that this has happend to me is when I said something to my friend and they took it the wrong way. When she wouldn't talk to me I knew something was wrong,so I asked her what was wrong and she told me what I said. Once I noticed how she took it I apolagized emediatly. I explained what I meant and she forgave me.
The moral of this story is to share and do not get mad when you think that someone is taking something of yours when you are actually taking something of theres. One time my friend thought that my other friend said something about him and he had heard him wrong because he was gonna get in a fight and when he was going to tell him off he walked behind him he started to say what he said and he heard him and saw where he had the mistake. So he went up and apoligized for being hateful and rude. He was never the same again . He felt so bad that he bought my friend a gift with a card that said im sorry. He felt really bad and I bet i would to. Ihope no one goes through what he did.
brandon emmert
i think the old ladyy learned her lesson because she though the cookies were her's and then relized they wrnt her cookie when she got on thee plain for her flight. But it was a good thing she tried to find the man that she was eating his cookie's.
And me and my sister we figh all the time but then we get over it and get allong and appligie's ans share.My sister and i used to share a room but we dont anymore so we get allong much better!:)wich is good!..:)

the moral is a lady eating a standers cookies abd the stanger eats some pf her cookies thats the moral of this story.
i have done this to my friend.my mom had bought some mountain dew for me and my friends.and a lunch we had a bottle of it. so i come in the liveing room and they are both on the coffe table. so i took a drink of it and he got mad. but i apolgizede and he forgave me.

The moral of this story is to be friendly. Those weren`t even her cookies yet the man shared them with her, he never got angry or upset. I have done this before! I had a piece of gum that I thought was mine, I ended up eating it and later finding my piece. I felt really bad. I ended up givin the persin a piece of my gum to get back for what I had done. I apologized and still felt terrible! Thankfully the person forgave me and I felt much better. If I were the lady I think maybe I would have checked my purse first but then again I should have checked my purse.

I think lesson there. Was to see what your doing intead of was someone else is doing.One time i took my sisters thing.And then I felt really bad for doing it.But my sister was still mad.
The moral of this story is that you need to share with others.And you dont need to get so angry with others.You can ask them to stop.When somthing like that happend to me i felt so bad.So i gave that person what i had And then i said sorry.
By Alexys Durham
I would be mad.at the boy . ho did it. for the boy.would be punch.
kaharris
Damion Musselman
The lesson here is that the lady was not looking at where she put her cookies. I watched a movie that someone left a thing on a bench. Someone found the thing. Then he tryed to find the person. Then he found the person.
isaac gibson
I think that the moral of this story is about that not to be like this is my cookies it may be someone elses cookies.I read this book that a boy gets a book from the library and he had it for 10 years and then he returns it.
the moral of the story is dont get mad over cookies. i have never had it happen to me but to my brother about his soda.
he got really mad thenfound out and commed down.
alex
I think the lessson of the story is that you should share.When I was five five I had this doll and I wouldn't let anyone even touch it.Then one day when I sat it down so I could go talk to my cousin Kierra and while I was gone my sister picked it up and threw it in my gramdma's fire place.When I got back it wasn't there so I looked and when I loofed over at the fire p;ace it was in there burning.I wanted to punch my sister in the face but didn't becuase my mom told me she would buy ne a new one and when we got there was no more of the kind I wanted so I had to ger a different one and my sister got the same one.So one day I was in my house looking for it and there was my sister ripping it apart.At first I thought is was mine but is wasn't but it wasn't and she told me that so I wasn't very mad anymore but it was still a little mad so I helped her rip it ,then told my mom she did it all by herself.I think I still have that doll some stored away never to be played with agian.
I like it because it so funny. I had a bag of cheatoes and my sistet takes them. I have never took a strangers cookies. I hope I never take anny strangers cookies. That is what I think about this coment.

i think the moral of the story is to be patient and always be kind enough to share. i have done this to my sister alot. i think i lost something i get mad blame her and then when i calm down i find it and fell bad.so therefore it mad me fell bad and like i was a jerk. i did apligize and would if this happened to me again.
Ryan Conley
The Moral of rhe story is don't jimp to conclutions. This happened to my brother ONCE. He thought I siole his PSP. But of course I didn't. As it turns out he was holding it thr entire time. So he apologized and I got The PSP.
Jake Gammill,
I think the mural is that. You should never jump to conlusion. It made me feel sorry for the man. Because the girl was being rude, not nice about it. But the man still shared his cookies, and the girl was still all rude and stuff.I have had somthing happen like this to me. I thought my sister took my xbox game a hide it. But then i relized that i put it up in my room were is was hiding. ANd i got all mad at her. I apoljized to her thou.
cody burrow
I think the moral of this story is to be nice. i have had something like this happen to me when my friend thought I killed him in a video game but it turned out to be someone who looked like me. he did apoligize and he let me take all his weapons because he didn't want them anyway.
Connor
What i learned was that dont jump to concluesion..
On time my sister and i were at a dicks sporting good store in mississippi and we both got a LiveStrong Braclet and they looked like they were the same but when i got home i took the braclet off and then i sat it down in the livingroom. So when i came back my dad had moved it when i was gone and i saw that my sister had one on.. And I jump to a conlusion and i thought that my sis had my on and i went all over her and then my dad got on to me and then i found my braclet then i had to tell my sis sorry and then that was it.
Adam Campbell,
Alaways look before you speek.
One time I thought my sister took my chips but they were under my bed.
I felt ashamed of myself.
chris harris
i learned to not come to any conclusions about someone else taking your stuff when it actually isnt yours.
something like this has happened to me by telling my brother to stop talking about me but he didnt talk about me.
i feel so sorry.i actually hit him.
i told on him and i actually ended up getting in trouble.
the storys theme was never jump to coclotion.this did happen to me.i hate my dads candy thining it was my candy.i was forded to say sorry.and thats it.
Chesley Mincks
that is very funny. like you need to make a conclusion.like if you blame your friend for the wrong thing they can het really mad.
or you van lose your friend.or if you do that in school they can lose your trust.
the storys theme was never jump to coclotion.this did happen to me.i hate my dads candy thining it was my candy.i was forded to say sorry.and thats it.
anthony contreras
i think the moral of this story is not to jump to conclisions necaise of you do then there will be a lot of problems. something like this happend to me. ome of my friends told me something and it hurt my fellings and i jumped to concolusions then there were a lot of problems. i tld the person who called me i never talked to then and then i told them why did he do that but then he told me that je wasnt telling me that someone mixed it up then that was the solilion. i told them sorry and then that was the end.
SAMUEL PYLE said...
MORAL: Do not jump to conclusions.
RELATION: I once had a leather billfold. It held all my money. One day, I lost it! I blamed my brother. He had a leather billfold too. I thought his wallet was really mine. I told my mom. I spent all of my brother's money. Thats when I found the Dale Jr. card in it. It was his!!! I apologized and payed him back.
THE END
Erik Harvey
one time my friend came over to my house and steal my foritos and he ate the whole bag. So I went to the store and bought 5 bags of chips and I told them not to eat them. and finaly he left the next day.

i thnk the moral of this story is to never jump to conclusions.if you jump to conclution people can get mad easly because they might think you took something of theirs. one time my friends were talking about someone.i thought they were talking about me. so i got mad at them.turns out they were talking about my other friend. i did apologize & it made me feel embaressed
It never haped to me in me live at all.

robert kiger
the story was about a man and a woman. the woman got all mad because she thought the coookies was hers.
one tiom a friend said that nathen in my other school was talking about me. but that friend was kidding so i gat mad at the friend who was talking about me but the friend who told aplogized.
Chase Boggs
The moral of the story is to not jump to conclusions.
This has happened to me only once. I was in north Missouri with my dads friend when it happened. We stopped at a gas station and we both got twizzlers. While we were driving I saw the opened package and thought they were mine. After I found out they were his I gave him mine.
nathan bliss
this story is think before before.You talk this his happend to me.my brother was up stairs in my room.i was talking to my friend.my brother was saying what i was saying.then when saw me gitting mad he apologize.i was not at him no more.
Anna Diaz
the moral of this story is that think before you speak. this has happened to me when my brother was useing my ipod. I got really mad at him and he gave to me and it was just his the whole time. He acctualy didnt care he started laughing. I did apolgize afterwords.
Garrett Rudy
I think the moral of the story is that u should't jump to conclusions. Something like this happened to me in the 4th grade. One time I was helping another student with there assignment. They had a mechanical pencil identical to mine. I would set it down after showing them sohing and then they would pick it up and use it, it made me very angry after the first few times and then we got done and they took the pencil back to there desk and it was my favorite pencil but I just went back to my desk and it was in my desk. I didn't apologize.
paige woods
I think this is a good lesson because everyone should think before assuming things. Just like my mom says... You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I have assumed before about when I told my cousin something against someone else but it turns out I had told her. I regret it.
Kassidy Owens
I think that,that passage is saying not to just guess that something is yours but have actual prof thay is yours. Something that has happened like that in my life is.That would be if you set a glass on the table my litle brother will just drink out of it and he is ten.He will never get his own drink normaly so he uses someone elses.That was the story that I had.
Mason Brown
The moral of the story is that you should be very kind and share what you have. Another moral un this story is that you should be observent to what is going on around you. One time I was waiting for my football game, I set my gatorade down, turned away, looked back , and one of the other teammates was drinking my drink. I got rally mad. So I hit him as hard as I could in the game and took him out of the game. After the game I figured out that it was his drink and my brother had taken it and put it by the water jug while my back was turned. I didn't get to apolagize to him that day but i saw him in the pkayoffs and apologized to him.
Grace Erickson
I think this story has a good moral because people should think about what the situation is before jumping to a conclusion. There has been times when someone told my friend that I said somthing mean about them when I didn't. Then that friend whould get mad at me when I didn't say anything. Then I would talk to the friend and tell them I didn't say anything bad about them. I learned from that, that I should make sute its right before I get mad. Also it makes both people mad at each other.
Aron Brown
The moral to this story is to not jump to conclusions and to think before you speak or act. One time me and my sister got to pick a snack when I was 6 and she was 5. We both picked Skittles. I lost mine and saw my sister eating some. I blamed her and got mad. When I went to my eoom. Iseen something under my pillow. When I looked it was my skittles. It made me feel awsome. So I apoligized to my sister.
Meagan Murphey
I belive the moral of this story is if you accedentley take some ones stiff you need apolagize right away.
This has never happened to me. This happened to my brother. He said I had his doller. He got mad and told our dad. My dad told him it was mine and he apoligized.
Serena Kornbrek
Moral: nevr be mad if you share or not.... and never go to bed angry at soneone before you go to bed....
TTI:(The Time I) One day my mom woke me up early and i was crabby because i dont wake up that early. i didnt realize it was Saturady for my baskerball game at 8...... and when o went to ear i thought my sister took my bowl of cearel because we had the same cearel so i got all mad and at hte game i realized that it was her so i apploligized when she came on the side line for a break..... ( we play on the same team )
Jack Pitts
I think you cant judge a book by its cover. when the lady made a mistake by calling the man a nerd she was being the nerd because she was eating the mans cookies. I learned that when you mess up sometimes you cant turn back just like when the girl found the cookies in the purse that have yet been touched she could not say sorry because she had too catch her flight. so if the man was on her flight i would have gave him my cookies.well that is all for now. :0)

one day when I 6 my momeas stiching my micky mouse
Dalton Nelson
