Poor hungry boys met a gentleman. He allowed them to carry home two bags for him and he would give them a litter money. When they arrived at his house he gave them each a coin. He thought that it was a ten-piece piece. But in the darkness he had given them each half a rupee. He did not know that he made a mistake that night but the boys did.
As soon as they reached a food shop the first boy said 'Look the silly old man has given me a half rupee instead of a ten-paisa piece' The other boy then looked at his coin and found that he had also received a rupee. 'You do not think that the gentleman really meant to give us these do you?' he asked. 'No he made a mistake in the dark of course' replied the first boy 'and when he finds it out he won't find us'.
The other boy who was honest said 'Doing that is like a thief'. His friends replied that the would rather be a thief than a fool and then they began to spend the money. However the honest boy did not use his and went to the gentleman's house to return it. This so pleased the man that he told him to keep it and gave him another. He then told the police to catch the other boys
