When I Cheated

Today’s story is based on a true incident when I was in Class 1.

One day, my Hindi teacher asked us to write a test.

There were ten questions in the test paper.

I knew the answers to all of them, except one question whose answer I was not sure about.

So I copied the answer from my friend.

But then I realized that what I had done was not right. I had cheated!

I immediately erased that answer and gave the sheet to my teacher.

I remembered then a lesson my Mummy and Papa often tell me about. It is that inside each one of us lives an angel and a devil. When we listen to the devil, we do bad things. Like I had cheated in that test.

But when we listen to the angel, we do good things. Like I erased the answer that I had copied from my friend.

I was happy that day because I remembered what my Mummy and Papa had told me about.

Moral of the story – We should never cheat. We must always listen to the angel who lives inside us and not the devil.
