Examples of grateful argumentative materials 1. bread
In a hungry city, a rich and kind baker gathered dozens of the poorest children in the city together, then took out a basket of bread and said to them, "Each of you has a loaf of bread in this basket. You can come and get a loaf of bread every day before God brings good times. "
In an instant, these hungry children rushed up like a swarm of bees. They pushed baskets and shouted, everyone wanted the biggest bread. When each of them got the bread, no one thanked the kind baker and left.
But there is a little girl named Eva who is an exception. She neither quarrels with others nor competes with others. She just stood humbly one step away and waited for the other children to get it before picking up the smallest bread left in the basket. She is in no hurry to leave. She thanked the baker, kissed his hand and went home.
The next day, the baker put the bread basket in front of the children, and the other children scrambled to eat it as they did yesterday. Shy and poor Eva only got half as much bread as the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread and many shiny new silver coins fell out.
Mother exclaimed in surprise, "Send the money back at once. You must have accidentally kneaded the dough when you were kneading it. Go, Eva, go! " When Eva told the baker what her mother said, the baker said lovingly, "No, my child, it's not wrong. I put the silver coin in the bun and I will reward you. May you always keep such a peaceful and grateful heart. Go home and tell your mother that the money is yours. " She ran home excitedly and told her mother the exciting news, which was her gratitude in return.

One day the beggar asked the gentleman, why did you give me less and less money? Mr. Wang replied, I was single and relatively rich. Later, I had a wife, and then I had a son.

3. "Magic"
Legend has it that the abbot of a temple made a special rule for the temple: at the end of each year, the monks in the temple should talk to the abbot about their feelings over the past year, but only two words are allowed. At the end of the first year, the abbot asked a new monk, "How did you feel this year?" The young monk replied, "The bed is hard." At the end of the second year, the abbot asked the young monk again, "What did you feel this year?" The young monk replied, "Poor food." At the end of the third year, before the abbot asked him, the young monk took the initiative to find the abbot and said, "Goodbye." The abbot looked at the young monk's distant back and said to himself, "It's a pity that there is a demon in your heart, and it is difficult to achieve positive results!" " What a pity! "
The abbot's "magic" is nothing but endless complaints in the young monk's heart. The young monk only thinks about what he wants and never thinks about what others give him.
In real life, there are many people like the little monk. They don't like this, they don't like this, they are full of grievances and complaints. They always feel that others owe him and society owes him, and they never feel what others and society have done to his life. Their hearts will only produce complaints, not gratitude. A philosopher once said: The greatest tragedy and misfortune in the world is that a person has the audacity to say, "Nobody gave me anything."
