语言的艺术
在唐朝，有一个人大摆宴席，宴请宾客。
时近中午，还有几个人未到。他自言自语地说：“该来的怎么还不来？”
听到这话，有些客人想：“该来的还不来，那么我是不该来的了？”于是起身告辞而去。
这个人很后悔自己说错了话，连忙解释说：“不该走的怎么走了？”
其他的客人心想：“不该走的走了，看来我是该走的了！”也纷纷起身告辞而去，最后只剩下一位多年的好友。
好友责怪他说“你看你，真不会说话，把客人都气走了。”
那人辩解说：“我说的不是他们。”
好友一听这话，顿时心头火起：“不是他们! 那只有我了！”于是长叹一口气，也走了。
看了这则小故事，我们可能会想这个人怎么这么不会说话，好好的事弄成这样。在生活中，在工作中，我们也可能会犯这样愚蠢的错误。语言是一门艺术，只有用心好好把握，才不会好心办坏事吆！
