TUMMY ACHE

One day Arun did not want to go to school. So he acted as if he had a tummy ache.

'ouch!' he cried. 'My tummy is aching.' Mother believed him. She did not send him

to school. After some time, Arun asked Mother for biscuits. She gave hime some.

Then Arun ate lots of chocolates and toffees. He had sweets, chips, wafers, a heavy

lunch, and many snacks. Mother knew that he had lied to her about the tummy

ache. Next morning, Arun really had tummy ache. He had eaten too much, you

see! 'Ouch !' he cried. 'My tummy is aching.' Now mother did not believe him.

'Don't lie,' she said 'Get ready for school.' 'I am not lying , Arun sobbed.

'I really have a tummy ache.' But Mother said, 'How can I believe you

today? Yesterday you told me a lie!' Now Arun understood that it was

wrong to tell lie.'Please believe me.'he said.'I shall never tell a lie again.

MORAL: It is good to tell the truth.
