The Story of Disobedient Children
Angel Amukongo
Once upon a time, there lived
three disobedient brothers. Their parents were very rich – they always had
feast parties and celebrations. The three disobedient brothers’ names were Richard,
Michael and Jason. Their parents didn’t know anything about their naughtiness
because at home they behaved well.
When Richard was 5 years old, he influenced
Jason. Jason was very obedient and quiet until he saw Richard and Michael being
naughty. Then he thought it was fun, so he also started being naughty.
One day at school, the principal
phoned the three boys’ father because every one of them did something wrong at
the same time. Jason stole thr chalk from the class teacher, Michael beat up a boy
at school and his nose was bleeding, and Richard was making a lot of noise, screaming
and shouting in the classroom.
When their father came to school,
he brought a belt with him. He told his three sons to stand in front of the
whole class and he beat them all equally, so they all cried that day.
From that day onwards, Richard,
Michael and Jason changed their behaviour. They apologised to the whole school,
their classmates and teachers. Everyone was surprised because they all knew
their behaviour and were not sure how long this change would last.
From that day, every day the boys
came to school, they were quiet. They didn’t beat other kids any more, they never
made noise or stole anything, or did any horrible thing again. They made friends
with most of the kids at the school, and they behaved very friendly towards
everyone.
One day when their parents had to
go to London for a long business trip, they boys had to go with their parents. The
boys lived in London for 2 years, and when they returned, they were
accepted again at the same school because of their good behaviour.
