BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS
s human beings we all make mistakes and do things that we may not do if we really thought about our action. Mistakes happen, but are we honest enough to take responsibility for our actions and the consequences that follow?

(Offstage voice) Rohan! Where did you go, young man? I want to talk to you right now!
(Rohan is playing with his friend Sahil) Uh-oh! I bet I'm in big trouble. I ate a big piece of that chocolate cake sitting on the table. I just couldn't help it.
(offstage voice) Rohan, where are you?
Over here, Mom.
(Mother enters)
Rohan, I baked a nice, big chocolate cake to take to the Jain Center today, and now it's a mess.
What do you mean, Mom?
Someone cut it and ate a large piece. That person also poked his or her fingers in it and drew a smiley face on it.
(Very nervous) That's terrible! You don't think I did it, do you? I'd never do anything that bad, would I?
(A bit suspicious) Who do you think did it?
(Thinking fast and stuttering) Uh, uh... I bet Rima did it. Yeah Rima! I saw her run through here and she.......she had chocolate all over her face and on her dress, too.
Hmm, makes sense. I am going to find her and ask her about it.
