poor hungry boys met a gentleman. he all owed them to carry home two bags for him and he would give them a little money. when they arrived at his house he gave them each a coin. he thought thai it was a ten-paisa piece. but in the dark ness, he had given them each half a rupee. he did not no that he made a mistake that night, but the boys did.
as soon as they reached a foodshop, 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, " rep lied 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 they would rather be a thief than a fool, and then they began to spent 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.
