One day, Nancy came home from school crying. Taking her in her arms, Mummy tried to
36 her. After a while, she stopped crying and asked, “Mummy, am I
37 ?” “No, you are not,” said Mummy, “but let us discuss this after you
38 , OK?”
Several minutes later, Nancy began to have supper with Mummy.
“Who
39 that you are bad?” asked Mummy.
“Phillips, my friend. He asked me for help with his maths but I
40 because I wanted to read the new book Daddy gave me. He got
41 and said I was a bad girl,” said Nancy.
“You are
42 ,” said Mummy. “Phillips has often helped you with your English. You should have helped him. Why don’t you phone him and say
43 to him?”
“But he called me bad and
44 with me. I don’t want to go,” Nancy cried.
“Though you have done
45 bad, it does not make you a bad person. You are
46 a good person.”
Nancy showed a
47 look on her face. “How can that be, Mummy?” she asked.
“Our
48 is always good. So never believe that you are bad,” Mummy replied with a smile.
49 flooded on Nancy’s face. “Am I
50 good, Mummy?” she asked.
“Yes, you are good, and always will be so. But that does not mean that you should not
51 the wrong that you do. You will have to call and
52 to Phillips. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, Mummy,” said Nancy slowly. “Thank you for telling me this. I feel much better now,” said Nancy
53 . “I am going to
54 Phillips right away, and I am never going to
55 that I am always good.”
