The stories in Learning to Be Good
are retellings of famous fables, especially Aesop’s, with a character
education emphasis. These timeless and illustrative stories have
traveled from culture to culture and generation to generation. They
appeal to all age groups with their simple but universal lessons about
human nature and morality. Since most of the main characters are
animals, they have a special appeal to children of this age. Charming
illustrations and playful, dynamic activities suggested in the
accompanying teacher’s lessons plans enhance the stories and reinforce
the lessons learned in a hands-on way.

Chapter 4: The Boys and the Lost Wallet
Two
boys were hiking through the woods to a neighboring village. One of
them noticed a wallet on the path and picked it up. It had a lot of
money in it!
“Wow! I’m rich!” he shouted.
The other boy pointed out that the wallet belonged to someone and
perhaps they should try to find out by asking around the village.
The
first boy said, “No, I’m going to spend the money. The owner was
careless to lose the wallet. So I get to keep it, and the money is
mine!”
Lesson Plan
Have
the students make up a story about losing something that is theirs.
Have them fold a piece of paper into four equal parts. Ask them to
label each section in order, 1-4. Section number 1 should illustrate:
"One day I lost my cat." Section number 2 should illustrate, "The
neighbor found the cat. Section number 3 should illustrate, "He brought
'Tiger' back to me." Section number 4 should illustrate, "Now I'm
happy!"
Write the Golden Rule on the board, and have the students repeat it after you several times until they know it.
