as soon as they reached a food shop, the first boy said, "look! the silly old man has given me a half rupeeinstead of a ten-paisa piece!" the other boy then looked at his coin and found that he had also recieved a rupee. " you don't 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 find it out he won't find us."
the other boy,who was honest,said "doing that is like a thief" . his friends replied that they would rather be a thief than a fool, and then they began to spend the money.however, the honest boy didn't 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 cath the other boys.
