The Reward of Honesty
Once, two friends were returning from school. On their way, they saw a beautiful garden. Tempted by the colors, they entered to pluck flowers. Suddenly, the owner of the garden saw them and chased them in anger.
One of the boys fled immediately with the flowers. However, the other boy stood still and did not run. The owner caught him and asked, "Why did you not run away like your friend?"
The boy calmly replied, "He who runs after stealing accepts his guilt and deserves punishment. I made a mistake, but I will not run."
Hearing this, the owner was very pleased with the boy's courage and truthfulness. He forgave him and allowed the boys to pluck flowers from his garden daily.
