【解析】本文講述了雙胞胎勞拉和塔拉經(jīng)常堅持自己正確，認(rèn)為對方錯了。例如，勞拉認(rèn)為早上早起很可怕。而塔拉堅持說早晨很新鮮，很難熬到午夜。多年來，他們的爭論仍在繼續(xù)。為了結(jié)束爭吵，他們的父母決定上演一出小劇。他們被帶到一個黑屋子里。在房間里，中間放了一塊大木板。勞拉被要求站在木板的一邊，塔拉站在另一邊。他們的父親問勞拉：“這塊木板是什么顏色的？”她回答說：“是黑色的。”他們的母親問塔拉同樣的問題。塔拉她回答說：“是白色的！”后來交換位置，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)都對。他們明白他們每個人的觀點都是正確的。我們大多數(shù)人都像勞拉和塔拉。我們大多數(shù)時候是對的，但堅持別人是錯的！
