Fearfully, he admitted his misbehavior and apologized. I gave him a disappointed look and began to lecture him. “You have let me down. Haven’t I taught you, that stealing is a bad thing? Yet despite that, you steal from your own mother?
“Did you really think I wouldn’t find out? Were you not afraid of the consequences? You are in big trouble. Stealing is a major offense and I am going to give you a very strict punishment tonight for what you have done.”
He began crying at the words ‘strict punishment’. Seeing him trembling before me with tearful eyes, I did feel sorry for him. I sat him sideways on my lap, put my hand around him, and comforted him.
