she had spilled some soup while running with it to put it back at a tray return point.
teacher asked who did it
she thought
1. if I don't admit, one of my friends may get into trouble instead of me
2. if i don't admit, I will not be deserving of the adjective my teacher attached to my name-honest Aishwarya
3. I want to tell the truth but I'm a bit scared.
4. my teacher may scold worse if she find out I lied. remember terence!
5. she may not scold me at all if I tell the truth
all in split second and she made up her mind and she walked up and told her, amidst the clamour of children vehemently denying that they had done it. ..
the reward. teacher asked her to clean it up. no scolding. a warm feeling of having done the right thing despite the temptation and choice available to not own up.
