Honesty is the Best Policy

Last week, Bruce played baseball with his friends in a playground near his home. They were playing happily. However, one of his friends Mark was too excited and hit the ball hard.

Unluckily, the ball flew far away and broke the window glass of a nearby house. They were scared. ‘Oh! What can we do now?’ Bruce said worriedly.

‘Why don’t we apologize to the house owner?’ Mark suggested.   

      ‘Maybe we will be punished by the owner!’ another boy wondered.

      ‘But we should admit our mistakes, right?’ Bruce asked.

      They all agreed and immediately went to the house. They knocked the door nervously.

      Suddenly, a kind, old woman opened the door and smiled at them. They said sorry to her sincerely. Finally, the old woman forgave them.

      Bruce learnt that they should be honest and admit the wrongdoing.
