“And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside, showing that he was modest.”
“When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I observed that his fingernails were clean, instead of being tipped with pen.”

A teacher had been very annoyed by some of the boys whistling during school hours. At last he knew he would have to punish anyone who repeated the offence（过错）.
The next morning, when the room was quiet, a loud whistle was heard! The students were surprised, and the teacher at once looked around to discover the offender.
The blame（指责）fell on a bad boy who was often in trouble, he strongly denied（否认）whistling. However, his words were not believed, for he was not a truthful boy. The teacher brought him up to be punished.
Seeing what was about to happen, a thin little boy, about nine years old, who had been anxiously watching the event, rose from his seat.
“Do not punish John, sir,” he said to the teacher, “It was I who whistled. I was doing a long hard sum, and when I rubbed out another sum to make room for it, I rubbed out the difficult one by mistake. I spoiled it all, and before I knew what I had done, I had whistled out loud! I am very sorry, I did not mean to whistle, I cannot let John be punished for my fault.” He held out his hand to be punished!
Taking his hand , the teacher said, “Charles, you have done the right thing. You were honest and spoke the truth. I believe that you did not intend to whistle. I cannot punish you, after being so honest. “ Charles returned to his seat with a flushed face, and even the youngest child in the school felt proud of him. Every student could see how bravely he had acted.
Charles was truly a brave boy. He had done that which he knew to be right, even though the same time he might have been punished for it.
True courage may also be shown by refusing to do that which we know is wrong, thought may get into trouble or other children may laugh at us.
