One of the Greatest Mistakes that I Made in my Life






            


                     It`s  been  a  long  time  since  I  broke  the  rule  of  my  mother  . It’s a pleasant  day, the  sun  was  so  bright  and  I smelled   the  aroma  of  garlic, vinegar and chicken. I  saw  my  mother  in  the  kitchen   cooking  my  favorite  dish.My mother  called me for  a  favor -  she  wanted  me  to  buy  a  soy   sauce   for  our lunch,  that  is  adobo .I saw her  wallet  on  top of  the  table.She instructed me to bring  only  7  pesos  for  the  enough  amount  of  that  condiment , but  I  got many extra  coins  in  her  wallet  without  asking  her  permission. I was very happy that day  because  I  finally bought  the  snack  that  I  want  to.I never thought that it was  one  of  the  greatest mistake  that  I  made  in  my  life.   
                   
                        I  went  to the  store  to  buy  a  soy  sauce  and  especially  my  favorite  snack. While  walking, the  soy   sauce  accidentally  fell  on  a  canal  and I couldn’t  reach it  because it was  so  deepand dirty. When   I   got   home    mywhole  body  was  shaking  in  fear  and  I  feel  so  nervous   about  what  I did. My   mom asked, “Where’s the soy sauce?”Even though  I was  so  afraid,I took a deepbreath  and    told  her  the  truth . She got   her   wallet   and  saw   that   there   were   no coins left. She   burst   in   to anger  and  scolded for sneaking on her wallet.

                          I  felt  so guilty  and  my  heart  ached  about  what  I  did . She   said 
 that   it   is  not  good  to  steal  others  money. It  is  wrong  to  get  extra  money from your  mother’s  wallet  without  her  permission because,  it  is  also  a  kind  of  stealing. My  mother  has  a  principle  that  we  need  to  follow  the  saying  honesty is  the  best  policy and   that   we shouldn’t  even  get  a  single  centavo .It is betterto tell truth than to make lies. She  also  said  that  we must  obey  a  certain  rule  in our  life  to  become a   better person.
