Honesty is “being truthful in what you say or do.”
Honesty also includes your actions.
Read the story on the next slide and then do the discussion questions.
Six PenniesBefore he became a lawyer, Abraham Lincoln worked as a store clerk. He was dependable and honest, and the owner of the store trusted him to run it. The customers in the store knew Abe would not lie about anything he sold.
One day a lady came into the store. She bought what she needed andleft. When Abe closed the shop for the night, he found he had six extra cents. He looked at his sales for the day and realized he had given the lady the wrong amount of change. Those six cents belonged to her!Abe looked at the six pennies. It wasn’t very much money. Besides, it was late at night, and the lady lived three miles away. But he knew what he should do.
Abe finished closing up and walked three miles to the lady’s house. The lady was shocked when she opened the door. “Abe Lincoln, what are you doing all the way out here?” she asked.“This belongs to you,” Abe answered as he gave her the money. “I accidentally gave you the wrong change today, so I came out here to make it right.”“You came all the way out here to bring me six cents?!” she exclaimed. “Thank you!”
1. What act of honesty did Abe Lincoln perform?
