CHEATERS NEVER PASS
Bina:
You forgot Arihanta Bhagawans. Arihanta Bhagawan sees everything we do. You are taking things that aren't really yours. Don't you remember we learned that we are committing Päp when we do such things?
Nisha:
You really think that cheating like this is a bad sin?
Bina:
Yes, it is. You are hurting your soul each time you cheat.
Nisha:
I don't think I want to cheat anymore. Here, you keep my sunglasses. Do you think that I may be having trouble learning because I did some bad things in my past?
Bina:
I definitely know that you are having trouble because you do not study! For now, let's take the smiley stickers back to your teacher.
Nisha:
(Whining) Do I really have to?
Bina:
Yes of course. You have to be honest with everyone, including yourself.
Nisha:
Tam going to ask my teacher if she will help me in Math.
Bina:
That sounds much better. And, if you like, I can help you at home.
Nisha:
I would love that. Thank you so much for being such a caring person.
