He says, “This piece of land is passed down from my forefathers. It belongs to my family. You have no right to build a wall there!” 六尺巷.indd 5 2022/3/7 17:57:57 六尺巷.indd 6 2022/3/7 17:57:57 六尺巷.indd 7 2022/3/7 17:57:57 六尺巷.indd 8 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 9 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 10 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 11 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 12 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 13 2022/3/7 17:57:58 六尺巷.indd 14 2022/3/7 17:57:59 六尺巷.indd 15 2022/3/7 17:57:59 16 After understanding Zhang Ying’s generosity, his family says, “‘A near neighbor is better than a distant cousin.’ We will give up three feet behind our dividing line.” 六尺巷.indd 16 2022/3/7 17:58:00 17 Hearing what the letter and Zhang Ying’s family said, Wu Family is moved and ashamed. Mr. Wu says, “It’s our fault. We shouldn’t hog the land. We would like to give up three feet too.” 六尺巷.indd 17 2022/3/7 17:58:00 18 Both families make peace and leave six-foot land. “So this is the way our forefathers deal with the relationship of neighbors,” says Xiao Zhi. 六尺巷.indd 18 2022/3/7 17:58:02 19 He adds, “As the saying goes, ‘Take a step back and there will be a bigger world in front of you.’ What do you think of it?” 六尺巷.indd 19 2022/3/7 17:58:02 六尺巷.indd 20 2022/3/7 17:58:02 六尺巷.indd 21 2022/3/7 17:58:02 六尺巷.indd 26 2022/3/9 10:06:45 六尺巷.indd 27 2022/3/7 17:58:05
