Mother Says Always Respect Your Elders (Episode 6)
The headmaster came and addressed the Pupils, he said " I got a report that some children from this school are fond of going to the farms behind the school to harvest people's crops. I do not want to believe that is true but if it is true, I beg you not to go and steal from any one's farm anymore.
Or are you thieves, the headmaster asked?
No Sir, the children chorused. The farm behind the school does not belong to the school, neither does it belong to you, so do not go there and take other people's crops. They worked hard for it and you are not to steal from other people's sweat, the headmaster added.
After the assembly period, the Children marched to their classrooms, during break hour, the boys went out to have lunch.
We still have to pluck those guavas today, Fidelis said.
Are you still thinking of that? Ikenna asked, didn't you hear what the headmaster said? he said the farm belongs to some people.
Stealing from people's farm is definitely a bad habit, the teacher is saying the right thing.
