从前，有个叫小强的男子，他的妻子脾气很古怪，和家里的每个人都很难相处。
小强想知道是不是她娘家的人也这样对待她，于是他找了个好理由把她送回了娘家。
才过了几天，她就回来了。
小强问她：“你娘家人对你怎么样啊？”
她回答说：“那些放牛和牧羊的人都对我不好。”
小强听后，温和地对她说：“亲爱的，如果连那些早出晚归的牧人都不能和你好好相处，那么整天和你在一起生活的人又会怎么对你呢？”
这个故事告诉我们，我们可以通过一些小事来看清事物的本质。
就像通过观察一个人如何对待陌生人，就可以知道他平时是怎么对待身边的人一样。
Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack. His wife had a very peculiar temperament and found it difficult to get along with everyone in the family.
Jack wondered if her relatives treated her the same way, so he found a good excuse to send her back to her parents' home.
Only a few days had passed when she returned.
Jack asked her, "How did your relatives treat you?"
She replied, "Those who tend cows and sheep were not kind to me."
After hearing this, Jack gently said to her, "My dear, if even those herdsmen who spend their days away from home cannot get along with you, then how will those who live with you all day long treat you?"
This story teaches us that we can see the essence of things through small matters.
Just as we can judge how a person treats those around him by observing how he treats strangers.
