Sammy picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he was walking back he saw Grandma\u2019s pet duck.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and k .illed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the pile of woods. Marie had seen it all from the window but she said nothing. After the lunch, the next day Grandma said, <em><strong>\u201cMarie, let\u2019s wash the dishes.\u201d. Marie said, <em><strong>\u201cBut Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.\u201d\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Then she whispered to Sammy, <em><strong>\u201cRemember the duck?\u201d. Sammy got nervous knowing his sister knew about the duck and if he doesn\u2019t obey, she may tell his grandparents about it. So without saying anything, he did the dishes.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing but Grandma said, <em><strong>\u201cI\u2019m sorry but I need Marie to help make a supper.\u201d. Marie just smiled and said, <em><strong>\u201cWell that\u2019s all right because Sammy told me he wanted to help.\u201d\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>She whispered again to Sammy, <em><strong>\u201cRemember the duck?\u201d. So Marie went fishing and Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of Sammy, he finally couldn\u2019t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, <em><strong>\u201cSweetheart, I know. I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you.\u201d\n<blockquote><p><span style='\"font-size:'>Moral: Always confess of your mistakes. It will take away a load of guilt from your heart which will boost your conscience and no one will take an advantage of your secret mistakes! Accept your mistake, apologize and seek forgiveness politely.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm.
