How to kill your mother in law

A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.  Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly. Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.  But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband! d great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-! law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.  She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you." Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. "Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen." Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.  Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper!r, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in- law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her." Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her." HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: "The person who loves others will also be loved in return." God might be trying to work in another person's life through you. 

The story is one of the old ways of teaching modern, it has used the story in teaching since ancient times, and still yet used and deviation effective and very successful, especially in the curriculum midwife study of this kind of teaching methods (such as Arabic language - Religious Education - Geography - History - Science) , this is the style - style narrative or the way the story - from the roads used by the Qur'an in many verses, as is the story of the roads used by the Prophet, peace be upon him in many of the hadith to teach companions many etiquette and transactions and acts of worship.

Here is a list of teaching to provide information and facts Nonfiction way, effective ways that fall under the offer range, this method is one of the oldest ways in which human used to transfer information and lessons to the children, one of the best ways to teach pupils especially children, being a help attract their attention and cultivate a lot of information and historical facts, and moral, more interesting and attractive.

Conditions for use of the story in the way of teaching:

To use the method of short stories in teaching there is a group of conditions that should be taken into account when the teacher teaching Bhdh way are:

That there be a link between the story and the topic of the lesson.

That the story would be suitable for the age of the pupils and the level of mental maturity.

The story revolves around ideas, information and facts from which to achieve the objectives. Teacher with a focus on information and events that serve those goals set, so do not go out to the student's mind the details are not important and moving away from achieving the purpose of the story.

The ideas, facts and information contained be in a few story so plentiful do not lead to fragmentation and lack of focus.

To provide an interesting story and an easy way to attract the attention of students and lead them to listen and pay attention.

The teacher should not be used this way in situations that do not need a story.

Accidents be provided under the sequential and sequential story, and move away from the accident and meanings that depict situations depiction physically.

That the teacher uses the method of representation of the situation as much as possible, and uses various educational means to help him to achieve the purposes of this story.

In light of these conditions it shows that an anecdotal way in teaching requires the teacher to be equipped with as much of the stories that are commensurate with the level of school pupils in which it operates and associated subjects prescribed curriculum. 

The story mode features:

- The offer interesting.

- Abra and ideals.

- Survival effect of learning.

- Cover a large part of the curriculum.

- gravity .

- Motivation to learn.

- Motivate students.

- Imaginative capacity development among students.

Defects way the story:

- Negative pupils.

- Teacher source of the information.

- Low attainment.

- The inability to manual skills development.

- But do not fit the middle stages of education.

Example :

Applied studied using the method of the story in the teaching of history:

Lesson :

"The Biography of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him."

The teacher begins to stimulate the pupils about the way

- Display a set of questions revolves around the birth of the Prophet, peace be upon him, such as:

- where was he born ?

- When I was born?

- Wayne educates?

What was working at a young age?

.....And so on ??

Then ask the students to listen to a good story that is told so that they can answer these questions

- The teacher telling the story

Then ask the students afterwards.

A very poor man lived with his wife. One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed. The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band. Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.

Mr. Shahul Hameed Mohammad, thank you for your nice question.

 

My answer to 

Are heart touching stories useful for students especially for moral science classes? 

is YES. Why? Based on my research, moral science is 'biology of ethics', 'science of ethics' etc. It deals with human relationships - not only within the human species but also with other animal species and even with the living planet.

Therefore, it is not enough that students are intelligent, that they excel in the academics. What matters most is how they apply what they have learned from their core subjects into real-life situations with conscience. As Albert Einstein said,

"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything."

Also, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education,” said Martin Luther King Jr. 

What is the purpose of having a high IQ but having a low EQ? If students have high EQ, they will perform well in almost all aspects of life. Concepts are easy to learn, however not all of these theories can be applied in real-life situations, compared to values like humility, wisdom, etc. wherein wherever they go will be required of them to observe and give to the people around them.

 

One story I can give is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Another one though not a story is the essay Of Studies by Sir Francis Bacon. You may also try Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Or, for a complete list of stories or fables, you may utilize Aesop's Fables.

 

In addition, I think, Sir, it will be better if the lessons from the stories will be practiced by students. How? Devise activities wherein the values can be practiced. For the values to be absorbed by students, I suggest you should come up with the delivery of instruction/lessons in a thematic way; meaning, your motivation down to your assignment bears the moral of the story for a week  or two. You may utilize music and videos too.

Thanks for invitation. A very Useful Question indeed.

My answer is a definite "YES". Heart-touching stories are not only useful for Moral Science classes, but for all other faculties also. I totally agree with Sir Havenly J. John and Ms. Carla Carmina Landagan's viewpoint.

Arrogant Rich Girl Story!!

Once  a poor boy fell in love with a rich man daughter. Boy loved her a lot so one day he proposed to her.

Girl rejected him by saying, “Listen, your monthly salary is even less than my daily expenses. How can i live with you? How could you even thought of coming to me and ask me?? I can never ever love you. Forget about me and go find someone of your level to get engaged.”

Even after knowing girl’s thought he still loved her and after getting rejected boy left but couldn’t forget her.

10 years later they stumbled into each other in a shopping mall.

Girl recognized him and said, “Hey!! You.. how are you?? I am married now He is very smart and do you know how much my husband’s salary..!! it’s 20,000$ per month. Can you beat that??

Boy eye’s got wet hearing those words from same person. A few seconds later her husband came around.

Before girl could say a word seeing the guy her husband said, “Sir, you are here! you have met my wife.”

“This is my boss. I am one those working for his 100 million $ project.” husband said looking at his wife.

Husband continued, “He is very good person and do you know my dear, My boss loved a girl but he couldn’t win her heart that’s why he remained unmarried. How lucky would that girl have been, if she married my boss now..!! Now days who would have loved someone so much.”

Girl got totally shocked but couldn’t say a word after that.

Moral:Life is too short so don’t be too arrogant and proud of yourself and look down on others current situation. Things change time change. Don’t under estimate anyone because everyone can have a great future.
