TRUTH

Truth

Jack was a nasty lad. He loved to play pranks on people. One day Jack decided to play a prank on his classmates. They were having lessons as usual, when suddenly,Jack shouted," Ah. my stomach hurts!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and attended to him." Ha , ha hahahaha! You got fooled by me again!" Jack laughed. Everyone was very angry with Jack. On the next day, Jack decided to play the same trick on his classmates but this time they did not believe him. Suddenly, Jack realised that his stomach was hurting a lot. He tried to ask his friends for help but this time no one believed him. He rolled on the floor. Just then his classmates turned to him and said," Jack, are you all right?" Jack was in so much pain that he could not say a word. His friends immediately called for the ambulance and sent him to the hospital. After a few days, Jack's friends came to visit him. " I promise never to lie again." Jack said, feeling very remorseful.
Reflection: I feel that truth means we should not lie to others and hurt them. However sometimes we may tell some white lies. I will not tell lies. If I didn't do my home work, I will own up to my teacher. I will tell him the truth amd the reason why I didn't do it.

LOVE

LOVE

"Son, run for your life!" A guy shouted. The boy stood rooted to the spot as he imagined all the horrors that could unfold right before him. The boy did not know what to do. "Don't bother about me, just run for your life!"the guy pleaded. The boy did as he was told. When he looked back, he saw his father being bashed up.Blood splattered on the ground. The boy's father was beaten till he was unconscious."I think we better leave,"one of the guys said. The left the man lying unconscious on the ground and left the scene."Dad, Dad..."the boy cried. He cried as he hugged his badly bashed father to his chest. "Someone, please call the ambulance,please,please," the boy begged. All he could do was to wait anxiously. When they were on the way to the hospital, flashbacks of the father's love for him kept on replaying in his mind. He then realised that all the things his father did was for him. At that juncture, the boy felt very remorseful and full of guilt.He had not appreciated what his father did for him.
Reflections: The word love means a person's love for something or someone.In this story, the father sacrificed his life for his son. The father has shown his love for his son, but has his son shown any love for his father? We should not abuse the word love by saying" I LOVE YOU", but it is not from the bottom of your heart. I can show love in my daily life by not fighting with my brother. I can also spread love to people around us.
