Moral Lesson

• Not being stubborn, we should listen what other had advised us. Their advice may become something very crucial

• “ Think before you leap “ We shouldn’t too easy to make a decision

• Say honestly although it is hard fact

The Meaning of The Title

do the right thing.• God always has best plan for us that we may

not know it, then we should have good prejudice on it and we need to be patient.
