Once there lived a boy named Anand who was very honest. He lived in Sonapur. One day, he had a test in History. Anand was so worried that he started biting his nails. When everybody submitted their papers, the only one who was still writing was Anand.
Anand was still in the first question. The teacher interrupted by asking him why he was still writing the test. Anand replied, “Miss, yesterday I did not revise for the test because my mother was ill, and I had to take care of my little sister.” The teacher said, “It’s ok Anand, next time you should study well and should not give any reason.”
Anand agreed and promised to do as his teacher advised. The teacher gave him another chance to write the test. He scored high marks.
