Class 7 (English Assignment)

 

Honesty and Doing the Right Thing

One day, Aarav found a wallet on the school playground. It contained some money and an identity card. His friends suggested that he should keep the money because nobody had seen him find it. Aarav thought about their advice, but he knew that keeping something that belonged to another person was not right.

He took the wallet to his teacher. The teacher announced that a wallet had been found and asked the students if anyone had lost one. A boy from Grade 7 came forward and identified the wallet. He was very happy because the money was needed to buy medicine for his sick mother.

Aarav felt proud that he had returned the wallet. He understood that honesty means doing what is right even when nobody is watching. His decision also helped someone who was in need.
