Raju was an excellent football player. He was very excited as he was to play 
for the inter-club final match. Winning this match would help him get a 
scholarship and a chance to play at the State level. The match began at 
11.00 a.m. The ball passed on from Tarun to Manan and then to Raju. Raju 
jumped high and put the ball deep into the net. The referee blew his 
whistle to declare a goal. However, Raju walked up to him and told him that 
he had used his hand to direct the ball to the goal and quietly walked back. 
Next morning, the Principal called him to the stage in the morning 
assembly and said, "We all are proud of you." Honesty always pays. Raju 
was the happiest person that day. 
To encourage students to do the 
right things even when it is difficult.
