Honesty of a School Boy
The Honesty of a Schoolboy
One sunny afternoon, Rahul was walking home from school when he noticed a small leather wallet lying on the ground near the park. Curious, he picked it up and opened it. Inside, he found some money and an ID card belonging to a man named Mr. Sharma.
Rahul thought for a moment. He really needed some money to buy lunch, but he knew that keeping someone else’s wallet wouldn’t be right. So, he decided to take the wallet to the nearest police station.
At the station, Rahul handed over the wallet to the officer and explained where he found it. The officer praised Rahul for his honesty and promised to return the wallet to Mr. Sharma.
The next day, Rahul was surprised when Mr. Sharma came to the school to thank him personally. Mr. Sharma was so grateful that he gave Rahul a small reward, but Rahul refused to take it, saying, “I just did what was right.”
Rahul’s honesty became well-known in his school. His teachers and classmates admired him, and Rahul felt proud knowing he had done the right thing.

One day a little school boy found a note of 100 taka in the school premises. At once he took it to his class teacher. He said, “Dear Sir, I’ve got a note of 100 taka. What can I do with it?” Mr Zaman said, Keep it with you until the owner is found.” The boy said, “Sir, I’m afraid, I may lose it. Would you please keep it with you?” Mr Zaman agreed and other boys also agreed to it.
According to the teacher’s suggestion, the boy put up a notice inscribing, “Some taka has been found in the school-yard. The owner may take it from the class teacher, Mr Zarnan.” They wait for seven days, but nobody came to do with the money. The little boy asked to wait for two days more. But the result was same.
Then some of the boys proposed to give the money to the mosque. Some of them told to give it to a poor man. But the little boy proposed to give it to the old blind man in front of their school. All the boys agreed and gave it to the old blind man.
Everyone praised the honesty and kindness of the little boy
