Seven Chinese Brothers - Individual Talents


The story is about a family of seven identical brothers, all with unique and amazing abilities; incredible strength, hearing, seeing, resistance to heat, growing ability and one can cry tears larger then rivers. One day a brother is captured by two army’s of the Emperor and every method of execution attempted by the Emperor fails because another brother uses their specific incredible ability to survive the form of execution the Emperor was using. In the end the brothers can not figure out how to save the last brother and so they agree to all go to the Emperor and at least can be together. In the end the brother cries and washes away the Emperor and all is safe again.
This story is entertaining on the surface but contains a deeper meaning and a life lesson or moral that every student and person should recognize. Every person in the world has their own unique ability and talents but it is only when we use them together can we accomplish greatness.
This is a lesson, especially with your classmates, you can learn and model your learning around. Your task is to get into a circle, write your name in the middle of a piece of paper and what you believe to be your most valued talent, now pass your paper to your right, when you receive your neighbours paper write what you believe to be their most valuable talent, continue this until your paper gets back to you and then you can see the great many talent that you possess!
