An Honest Schoolboy: One day, a little school boy found
Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, a noble-minded student by the name of Robin, belonging to the ninth grade, came across a purse or moneybag whilst on his way to school. As he looked around, he realized that there was no one nearby who could be the owner of the lost item. Upon picking up the purse/moneybag, Robin was astounded to find that it contained a sizable sum of money. However, instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, Robin decided to uphold his virtues of honesty and responsibility and return the money to its rightful owner.
Despite the fact that Robin's class was about to commence, he chose to prioritize returning the money over his own education. As a result, he took the purse/moneybag to the headmaster of his school and informed him about his discovery. The headmaster, who was thoroughly impressed with Robin's ethical conduct, accompanied him to the local police camp to hand over the money.
Upon reaching the police station, they met an old man who was conversing with the in-charge. After inspecting the contents of the purse, the old man claimed that it belonged to him, and that he had lost it on his way. The in-charge returned the purse to its rightful owner, who was overjoyed and grateful to Robin for his virtuous actions. The old man, wishing to reward the student for his noble deed, offered him a gift in return. However, Robin politely refused, stating that he was content in doing the right thing and that the old man's happiness was reward enough. Robin further humbly requested the old man's blessings so that he could continue to uphold his duties and responsibilities with integrity and rectitude.
Moral of the Story: The honest never expect any reward or return for their good work.
Ayat's Act of Kindness / Honesty
One day, Ayat, a schoolboy, was going to school on foot. While walking, he found a bundle of money on his way to school. He took the bundle of money and went straight to his class teacher.
"Ayat, what brings you here?" asked his teacher, surprised to see him before class.
"Ma'am, I found this bundle of money on my way to school. I thought I should give it to you. Maybe someone lost it," Ayat replied with sincerity.
His teacher was touched by his honesty. She examined the bundle carefully and noticed a small note tucked inside. It had a name and a phone number written on it. Without delay, she called the number and informed the person about the money.
To their surprise, the money belonged to an old woman who had saved it for her grandson's medical treatment. She had accidentally dropped it while returning home from the bank. The teacher invited her to the school to collect her money.
When the old woman arrived, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. She thanked Ayat and his teacher profusely, tears filling her eyes. "You don't know how much this money means to me. You’ve saved my grandson’s life," she said.
She invited Ayat to her home as a token of gratitude and prepared some delicious sweets for him. Ayat felt a deep sense of happiness seeing her smile and knowing he had done the right thing.
Inspired by this experience, Ayat decided to start a small charity program at his school. He encouraged his classmates to contribute in any way they could to help the poor and needy in their community. From that day, Ayat became a role model for honesty and kindness among his peers.
