Weird Butterfly Ceremony

課文：

Coach Martin is alone in a locker room when Tyler, one of his basketball players, comes in. Earlier Tyler’s teammate Caleb yelled at him for playing badly.

Tyler：Coach! You’re still here?

Coach：I thought you might need someone to talk to. Are you OK?

Tyler：Not really. What gives Caleb the right to yell at me like that?

Coach：I’ve talked to Caleb. It’s never appropriate to shame another person like that, especially a teammate. An outburst is not a good way to deal with any conflict.

Tyler：Conflict? There was no conflict until he blamed me for losing the game! I admit that I probably didn’t pass the ball enough. But he didn’t have to act like that!

Coach：You didn’t pass the ball enough. But I agree that yelling at you was wrong. And I think you should have told him, that, but you didn’t say anything.

Tyler：Coach, I never thought you’d tell me to do something like that. Wouldn’t yelling at Caleb just make him more defensive?

Coach：I didn’t tell you to yell at him, but I think you could have stood up for yourself. I’d rather have you talk about the problem than just sit there feeling resentful.
