repentance

From a modest family, Zizi was a little shy girl, I felt different from her classmates at school. They were mostly children of wealthy families, wore expensive clothes, and carried pretty, stuffed lunch boxes. But Zizi was very interested in her studies, and she couldn't wait to go to elementary school when she turned six. His mother had bought the school supplies then, but some more expensive notebooks were not part of it, which had the pages decorated with small colored drawings.

– Mom, I so wanted to have a notebook decorated with drawings, like the ones I see in the hands of some colleagues… – Zizi said her mother, one day, when she came home from school.
– We don't have the money to buy these notebooks, which are more expensive than the others – explained the mother.
One day, on her way out of her classroom, Zizi found a notebook lying on the floor in the hallway. At the top of each page was a cute little drawing, painted with colored pencils. It was one of those notebooks she wanted so much! So Zizi decided to keep the notebook in her school bag. She thought “What is found is not stolen. Just erase the name written on the tag and put mine in…” And so did Zizi. The next day, before class started, the teacher asked if anyone had found a memorized notebook. Zizi freaked out. She had found the notebook, but she didn't have the heart to tell it in front of everyone. At recess, Zizi couldn't even eat her modest lunch. She felt a lump in her throat. She was sorry. She knew she had done something wrong. So Zizi decided to look for the teacher to return the notebook very quickly. Upon receiving the notebook back, the teacher was friendly and understanding with Zizi, but explained to the girl that all people must act honestly in everything they do, because honesty is one of the greatest virtues one can have in life. And together they returned the notebook to the real owner.
