They bounced and bounced. Near them was Raffi’s favorite, special clay pot. It was big and round.
None
Kamel bounced higher and higher! He did not look at where he was going. He was so happy.
None
Oh no! Kamel bumped the pot by accident. His big hump brushed the side. Tap, tap!
None
The pot tumbled. It rolled and rolled off its little stand. Kamel watched, feeling worried.
None
Crash! The pot broke into many pieces. Kamel felt very sad. His heart felt a little ouchy.
None
Kamel felt scared. He wanted to hide away. His tummy felt wobbly. What should he do?
None
Soon, Raffi came by. He saw the broken pot. Raffi looked kind and calm, not angry.
None
Raffi asked, “What happened here, little friends?” Kamel felt brave. He told the truth.
None
Raffi smiled. “Thank you, Kamel, for telling the truth,” he said. Kamel felt a tiny bit better.
None
“Honesty helps our hearts grow strong and bright,” Raffi explained. “It makes us feel peaceful inside.”

Together they fixed the pot. Kamel felt peaceful and happy. God loves truth, always!
