一天，一个善良的女人说了一些话，伤害了多年的好友。话刚出口，她就后悔了，若能收回已说出口的话，她愿意付出一切代价。她的话不但深深地伤害了朋友，自己也因此痛苦不堪。为了弥补自己的过失，她求助于村里的一位有智慧的老妇人，向她诉说了自己的苦恼。
从这个年轻女人的话里，老妇人能体会到她的苦恼，因此，她决定帮她一把。同时，她也知道，自己虽不可能减轻她的痛苦，但至少可以让她吸取教训。结果将会取决于这个年轻女人的性格。于是，老妇人说：“今夜，你将最好的羽绒枕头拿出来，天亮之前，在镇上每一户人家的门阶上放一根羽毛。”
尽管这个年轻女人舍不得那些珍贵的羽绒枕头，但她还是匆忙回家，准备按老妇人的话去做。整整一夜，她顶着寒风，一个人奔忙于镇上。终于在天快亮时，她把最后一根羽毛放在了最后一幢房子的门阶上。日出之时，她又来到老妇人那里。
这位智慧长者说：“现在回去，将你放在门阶前的羽毛收齐装进枕头。然后，一切就会恢复从前的样子。”
年轻女人惊呼：“那怎么可能！我把羽毛一放在门阶上，风马上就将它吹走了！”
老妇人说：“没错。所以，你得记住，你所说的每一句话就像风中的羽毛一样。一旦说出口，不论你怎样努力，也不管你如何有诚意，都再也收不回来。说话要慎重，在你爱的人面前尤其要注意这点。”
古语云：“覆水难收”，事后想办法补救固然是好的，但事情已经随着时间的流逝而不可逆转了。如果真的要自己问心无愧，就要在说每一句话、做每一件事之前三思，尊重别人，也尊重自己，为自己留下无悔的记忆，也为别人带去温暖。
