The Dishonest Friend


·      A man needed to go on a journey and so he asked a friend to take charge of his plough until he returned.
·      The friend promised to make sure and take good care of it.
·      The friend sold the land and pocketed the money.
·      His excuse was that a rat came and ate it up one day.
·      He knew it was not eaten by a rat but he had another plan.
·      He took the friends son out for a walk the next day and took him some distance.
·      He took the friends son to a different friends house and told him to not let him go until he returned.
·      He ran back to the boys father and told him a hawk had swooped him up and carried him off.
·      They went before the judge to see if this was true or not.
·      The judge told the man after hearing both sides that if he found the plough maybe the son would be found too.
·      He brought the plough back to the man and the man returned his son.

·      The stingy man soon realized honesty is the best policy.
