We are Bound to Be Honest!

  Pat and George were two lively neighbourhood boys. Pat possessed several beautiful birds, while George had only two or three birds and these were plain and ordinary types. One day a couple of Pat’s doves flew into George’s aviary, and began to build a nest. The poor boy thought: “How happy I would be if they were mine! They are as white as snow and their heads and tails are as black as coal.

Be Not First To Quarrel!

In a corn field not far from the woods, two boys found a partridge's nest and they managed to capture the female, who was sitting on the eggs. The bigger boy said: “You take the eggs and I shall keep the partridge.

During the argument the elder boy let of the partridge and the younger, not realizing what he was doing let go of the eggs and they broke on the ground.
