Honesty is the Best Policy

        Last Sunday, Bruce and his friends Ben and Tom went to a nearby park to play baseball.  While they were playing excitedly, Bruce hit the ball hard. Unfortunately, the ball flew towards a house and broke the window. The boys were scared because they thought that the house owner would scold them.

   “Let’s apologise to the house owner,” suggested Tom.

   “Oh no, we’ll be punished. Let’s run away as quickly as possible!” begged Ben.

   “Come on, we should say sorry to the owner sincerely because we’ve done something wrong so we need to admit our mistake,” explained Bruce bravely.

   At the end, they agreed. So they went to the house and knocked the door nervously.

   Suddenly, an old lady who appeared friendly opened the door.

   “We’re so sorry to…”

   “Never mind. Just come in and take a seat,” the lady interrupted.

   To their surprise, the lady forgave them and treated them with some yummy snacks. They chatted happily the whole afternoon.

  

   Finally, they learned that “Honesty is the best policy!”
