JEALOUSY LEADS TO...
thief goes to jail and doesn't get anything except water and celery sticks for a whole month.
Rajesh:
(Speaking to audience) I was jealous of Rohit and all his toys, and now I'm in deep trouble. My Jain schoolteacher said we should not be jealous, and that I should be content with what I have. I sure wish I had listened to her. She also said that we should tell the truth. I think I better tell Rohit what really happened. I can't go to jail. My parents will be very upset with me.
Rajesh:
(Loudly) I found the thief! I caught him right here. His name is Rajesh. Don't call the police...it's me. I broke the truck and threw it away.
Rohit:
(In a tone of disbelief and hurt) You broke the truck and threw it away! Rajesh, how could you? Why would you do such a thing?
Rajesh:
I thought it was yours and that you left it here to make me jealous. What I did was really dumb. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Rohit:
Of course, I forgive you. After all, it is your loss. Remember, it was your birthday present. I would love to have you come over and we could play with my truck.
