I am very sorry I behave badly towards you. Imagine if I had gone, my Parents would have been in school this morning to receive all the shame and I will be washing toilets for the rest of the term. Ikechukwu said.
But that is not even all; the people in school will early dismiss you as a thief who is disobedient and disrespectful, Ikenna said.
That is true, I am happy I have a friend like you who has saved me from humiliating myself, Ikechukwu said, you are a good friend, Ikenna .
I expect you will have to be a good friend too and that is just by being good, Ikenna said.
How can I do that? Ikechukwu asked, by being respectful to elders and being obedient. My mother always says that an obedient child who is respectful to elders will never get into trouble, Ikenna said.
You are right, I will become a good boy from this day forward, I will help my elders to carry their things when I meet them on the way, Ikechukwu said and they both laughed and they hugged themselves.
The following day, Ikenna and Ikechukwu were going to school when they saw Miss Clara going to school. She was carrying a raffia bag filled with books. Ikechukwu ran to meet her, he helped her to carry her bag after greeting her.
