In our civilized world you often hear these questions asked “Is this yours?" “Does it legally belong to you?" They are familiar questions and hold an important meaning in our society. When a person takes a thing without permission he is looked upon by our society as a thief. Society in all parts of the world, does not associate with crime, illegal procedures, felonies and misdemeanors, or any thing which endangers its life. Stealing is one of the most hateful offenses against our social life. It has proven that it can bring regret, sorrow and damage. During our life-time every one of us should contribute to our society in some way for a better and more useful life. The best time that is offered is during our school life. Let's train to resist stealing and other forms of crime. Take only your own rightful belongings and follow the “Golden Rule" for “crime does not pay."— Al Slickpoo.
