Honesty and Hardwork-Revisted!


Honesty and Hard work- words that sound almost old- fashioned.. but are they not the cornerstones of character?
My young friends and I revisited honesty and hardwork, even as we continued our exploration into the animal kingdom...

"The little Red Hen"..a classic  English folk tale of a hard working hen and her lazy friends.. while the hen sows the grain, tends to her field,harvests the wheat, takes it to the miller, and finally bakes her bread  with the flour she pounded, her friends do not budge to help her.. They are too busy lying around under the sun..

Its time to eat the tasty bread and her friends come bounding to help her."This time is different!", says the hen as she tells tells them.." I will eat the bread all by myself"!Hard work is rewarding, for sure!!



Then we moved on to a swamp near Louisiana to  meet Ally, the Alligator..The young Alligator in " The Alligators' secret " finds out how lies can get you into a world of trouble.


He learns that when you commit a mistake, it is better to own up and ask for help, rather that cover up with lies and pretence.
Truth Triumphs..!!
