WHAT ARE THE EGGS UP TO THIS MONTH? (Book 1, Chapter 10) June - Honesty In Chapter 10, bad decisions are made. |
|

Benedict tells his parents he lost his report card and then he has Peggy water down the lemonade at their lemonade stand so they can make it last longer and earn more money. Even though Peggy tells him he is being dishonest in both situations, Benedict doesn’t care. His dishonesty gets worse. He made Seggourney a glass of lemonade that wasn’t made from lemonade power and then he “fixed” Reggie’s bike with a nut and bolt he knew were way too small to be safe. Both incidents caused some major problems for both Seggourney and Reggie. Benedict learned a hard lesson, but in the end he told the truth about everything, including his report card. Benedict “realized that one lie leads to another and just makes a mess of things.” Reggie’s mom reminds Benedict that “honesty is the best policy.” |
