Question

Write an original short story having the following theme: "Life is like an echo, we get back what we give."

Answer 1

This story is all about how to behave with others as Life Is like an Echo. A little girl got angry with her mother and shouted at her, never talk to you, you are very bad “I hate you, I hate you.” Because of fear of scold, she ran out of her house. She went up to the hill and shouted, “I hate you, I hate you,” and echo came back, “I hate you, I hate you.” This was the first time in her life she had heard an echo. She got frightened, went to her mother for protection and said there was a ghost in the valley who shouted “I hate you, I hate you.” The mother understood and she asked her to go back there with her and shout again, “I love you, I love you.” The little girl went to the hill and shouted, “I love you, I love you,” and the echo came back.

Moral:
That day taught the little girl a great lesson that our life is like an echo: We get back what we give.

Benjamin Franklin said, “When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.”

Answer 2

It is hard to accept life echoes back to you what you put on someone else. I had to receive this word of wisdom first hand. And hear me when I say, I put out more good than wrong, yet; it was hard for me to maintain or continue living life when the wrong return to me.

Five years ago, my sister and I walked away from being two peas in a pot. We talked about any and everything. Always available to help each other with all life challenges. We shared everything, and we had each other back.

This time,we both were exhausted and frustrated due to work. My sister was taking her problem out on me and saying mean things to me. We argue a lot, and I was tired of her taking her frustration out on me.

I tried talking with her, and telling her she needed to consider my feelings, and give me a little more appreciation as I was respecting her. She continued her rage, throwing out words that cut through the soul, this day, the conversation became fiery, and she said words to me in a heated moment that I felt was unforgivable.

When she saw how hurt I was, she apologized to me; I walked away. She tried calling. I wouldn’t answer my phone. She even came to my house and tried to talk to me. I ask her out. And we didn’t speak on my part for two years.Two years ago, I flat hit rock bottom and turned to a loved one in my family for help. It was a distinct poor decision I made.

My sister didn't walk away from hearing of the hard times and came closer to me. It was hard for me to hear from her during the most challenging time of my life, but I did.

We salvage two years of a lost relationship, putting the pain behind us. I am happy she reached out to me because I never would have contacted her, and I missed her dearly. To hear her say, she knew it was wrong of her to speak rude words out of anger made me realize I was wrong to walk away from a bond we share as little girls. She was hurting and wishing it was something she could have done differently, so we never lost two years.

I had the right to demand her to calm down and choose better words, except, I should have handled things better. The way a person manages a situation can contribute to the outcome. Walking away from her the way I did was not the best result. I feel that because I handled things that way I did, I continue to live life as it echoes in a situation I didn’t desire.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!
