7. HOW TO DISTINGUISH A GOOD MAN FROM A BAD MAN,GOOD INTENTIONS FROM BAD INTENTIONS

It was a warm, sunny Friday afternoon. Reni, Elon, Trolly and Fyfy meet atplannedin parkby the swan pond. Elon brought book  “Tales of 1001 Nights” and oppened on its own to the page where the fairy tale entitled “Euchanted well “. Elon read this fairy tale aloud.

Not only  Reni, Trolly and Fyfy listened to him interest, also swans and ducks from the pond.

The fairy tale told the story of a boy’s friendship with a wise man,which evil people wanted to destroy.

The wizard  taught the boy spells, after which he could enter the palace with treasures. Bad people forced the boy to teach it them, because they wanted to take these treasures. Bad people even persuated the boy kil wise man. Fortunatelly people did not succed and were justly  punished.

When Elon finished reading, Fyfy the pig was the first to speak :That who kidnapedme to circus is a bad man.

Reni said : He is bad because he lied to you and imprisoned in an aattempt  to use you for his own gain.

Swan said : All those who deceitfully want to imprison someane are bad . They  set snares for birds, foxes, roe deer, hares, wild boars and other animals, are monsters.

Also the hycel who caught mein a net and drove to animal shelter. -barked Trolly.

Elon said : Also those who drop their children offat shelters for orphanges.

Fyfy asked : And how  do you know if someone has bad intentions ?

This is  very difficult often.  Because you only see the bad guys who  have a in her hand  a knife, a rope, a gun. But when someone uses a lie, we often don’t know that he is evil. – Elon wondered : Sometimes you  can to  know  that someone is  lying, He doesn;t look us in eye, smiled wryly, his voice is changed.

Reni added : And once someone lies to you,you can probably neve trust them again.

Elon explained : And hoe do you know that someone is good ? He does not lie, not imprison, does not hurt. He smiles at us, looks us  straight in eye, has a gentle touch.

Reni said : Sometimes he can be sad and cry because others  have hurt him. Do you remember how Mrs, Susy cried ? And Mrs, Susy is good at all.

A good person or pet smile even trough tears. He will share  the last piece of food with you. He won’t laugh with the shadow when you fall as something. For example, when you don.t manage to fly yet . – said the swan from the pond.

Fyfy added : Or when you don’t know how to r aq bike yet.

Trolly barked : A good person has a different smell that a bad one. Because the evil’s . sweats badly. But  anyone  can smellit like can dog.

And what does saying “A  tief’s  hat burns” ? – Reni  wondered : Or that  when you lie, you get a long nose ?

Elon said :  We will ask  Abbot Joseph abou it tomorrow, when we’re going to the garden with birds and shed,

Everyone was happy that a car from monastery would come to pick them tomorrow.

Because the monks are certainly good and wise people.
