Most of Tom's neighbors were friendly. They were always ready to help each other when<br />they were in trouble. But there was one woman who was disliked by everyone because she<br />was always borrowing things from her neighbors but forgetting to give them back.<br />One morning Tom heard a knock at his front door and when he opened the door he found<br />this woman outside.<br />Good morning, Tom, she said. I have to take some things to my sister in the town today,<br />but I haven't got a horse, as you know. Will you lend me yours? I will bring it back this<br />evening."<br />I'm sorry, answered Tom. If my horse were here I would, of course, lend it to you, but it<br />is not.<br />Oh, said the woman. It was here last night because I saw it under the tree in your garden.<br />Where is it now?<br />My wife took it to the town early this morning, answered Tom. Just then the horse made a big<br />noise.<br />You're not telling the truth, Tom, the woman said angrily. I can hear your horse. You should<br />tell the truth to your neighbor.<br />Sure, said Tom. Is it a good manner to believe a horse's word rather than that of your own<br />neighbor, the woman left without a word?
