Storytelling
There was a little boy named Ajeysir who constantly got into trouble.
He was often called pesky Ajeysir by his teachers and close family as he always managed to get away with all the mischief he caused.
One day, he spray-painted Old Lady Rao’s house; the next day when he woke up, he saw that Old Lady Rao was offering a $1000 prize for anyone who found the person who spray-painted her castle.
Ajeysir was bewildered and frightened beyond his being; he was just a little boy after all! He was extremely anxious the whole day at school and couldn't focus on anything.
By the end of the day, he confessed to his mother and told her what he had done, She was disappointed but happy to know that he earned up to his mistakes
He then went up to Old Lady Rao’s house, which was being cleaned (as he spray-painted it) and confessed to her.
Gracious Old Lady Rao forgave him and made him promise that he would never do such a thing ever again.
