This happened to a girl in the class and she took someone else’s stuff not meaning to keep it as it was just very beautiful to her.
While she was alone in the class looking at it someone came in and she dropped it into her pocket.
She felt very bad as she was not that type of child who would steal things from other children. When the rest of the class came in she just sat down and did not say a word.
She did feel very ashamed as this was brought up that way as her parents always gave her everything she wanted.
That is not right either it is so much better to work for something you wanted and that can be done by asking your parents if there are chores you can do for them so that you can get the money together to buy what you really want. This was not a bad girl and she did feel terrible.
The girl who had lost her things asked the teacher if she had seen it as it was not where she put it.
The teachers said no she did not and asked the whole class if they had seen anything. In the class all the children looked around and said no they did not, and had no idea what had happened to this child’s stuff.
They all went home and when this little girl took the stuff out of her pocket she started crying as she felt very bad but was too shy to tell what had happened.
She lay awake about the whole night with her fear and feeling bad as that was like stealing, yet that was not what she wanted.
The next day at school when they all sat down in the class the teacher asked if the little girl’s things had been found. Everyone said no and then this little girl got up and told exactly what had happened and that she felt so shy to tell that it was actually her.
The teacher did not say anything nasty to her because she came forward with the truth.
She said it was wrong, but because the girl told everyone in the class that it was her, that made things a lot better.
She gave the little girl her things and the teacher made her promise never to do this again.
It was not as if she had needed it or as if she wanted it she just wanted to look at it. The teacher made her promise that she would never do anything like that again and the moral of the story is that she came forward with the truth although she felt very shy.
So remember children you will only feel bad if you do not tell the truth and by telling the truth things are not that bad. I hope you enjoyed and understood the story and may you never forget to always tell the truth. Something it is difficult but it is definitely the right thing to do. Have a wonderful day from me and may you always tell the truth.
