SAMPLE 1
“If only I have the money to get that Iphone 4,”
said Rahim as he walked back home from school.
Rahim was a boy who was not born with a silver
spoon. His family was poor and he had 12 brothersand sisters excluding him. What was even worse, his
parents worked in a rubber estate. Every day, his
parents would wake up very early in the morning just
to bring home the bacon. Every time Rahim saw hisparents, he felt terrible because they had to work so
hard to put food on the table for his siblings and him.

One day, after Rahim had finished school, he saw
a van and two suspicious looking men. They came
out of the van and made a bee-line for the bushes
beside the road. Rahim quickly hid behind a tree.
After a few minutes, Rahim heard the van driving
away. He ran as fast as lightning to the bushes withthe hope of finding the thing that the men had
hidden. As he was doing so, he thought about those
two men. “Were they robbers?” he wondered.

Suddenly, he stepped on something and
fell to the ground. “Ouch!” he said, “What’s
this? A bag?” Then, he opened it and
exclaimed, “This is the luckiest day of my life!”
while jumping for joy. It was a bag filled with
money. He thought of taking it and pretendingthat nothing had happened. He thought of
purchasing the phone all his friends were
talking about and showing it off to them.

Suddenly, he remembered what his parents had
said to him. “Rahim, although we are poor, we must
be honest. What’s not ours, we don’t take. Okay?” Full of determination, he forced himself to give the
bag of money to the police even though he wanted it
so much. When he reached a nearby police station,
he explained everything he knew about the bag. Itturned out that both the suspicious men were
actually robbers. They had robbed a bank that
morning and were arrested after they hid the bag.

“Okay, thank you for finding the bag,” praised the
policeman. Rahim felt relieved because he had made
the correct choice. Later, he explained everything tohis class teacher who lived a mile away from his
house. His parents were both so proud and happy for
him.
The next day, the policemen came to his school
and told his principal about his brave act. He was
called by the principal and the principal praised him.
Rahim replied, “It was my parents who taught me tobe honest.”

of the essence. Rahim could not wait any longer ashe was extremely late for school. He found the door
to the chief inspector’s room. Rahim then barged
into the room. The inspector was shocked with the

SAMPLE 3
It was dawn. The sun was hanging slightly above
the horizon. Rahim, a boy in his teens, was on hisway to school like any other student. Only one thing
was different; Rahim was a boy who was not born
with a silver spoon in his mouth. He did not enjoy
luxury in his life and this meant that he had to walkto school each day. On one particular day, while on
his way to his school, Rahim caught a glimpse of
something shiny in the bushes. He rushed over to
find out what it was.

Rahim was in complete shock when he found a
Gucci handbag that was made in Milan, Italy in the
bushes. He could not believe his eyes! He silentlythought to himself that this bag would belong to
someone who was filthy rich. AS expected, when he
rummaged through the contents of the bag, he
found lots of cold-hard cash. He looked around butthere was nobody to be seen. Suddenly, an
overwhelming sense of greed flooded through
Rahim’s body and chilled him to the spine. Rahim
couldn’t fight the urge to keep the bag full of cash forhimself.

Then, he snuck in the handbag in his ownschoolbag and continued his journey to his school.En route to school, Rahim’s conscience started
bugging him. He felt guilty and ashamed of the sin hewas committing. Ever since he was a young boy,Rahim’s parents had always taught him about karma.Whatever you do will bear a consequence like thesaying goes, ‘ you reap what you sow ‘. It was clear
to Rahim that he was making a grave mistake andGod would punish him for that in the future. Rahimdecided it was best to hand over the handbag to thepolice. He went to the nearest police station and meta kind-hearted policemen named Mr.Kamal whotook the handbag and promised Rahim he wouldfind its owner. Mr Kamal was also full of praise ofRahim’s virtous deeds.

After leaving the police station, Rahim went to
school. He was well aware that he was about a half
an hour late. On the way to his class, his thoughtswere all clouded up. Rahim was in a dilemma on
whether or not he should explain what had
happened earlier in the morning to his class teacher,
Mr. Abu. As Rahim was walking into his class, he wasconfronted by Mr. Abu on why he was late for school.
Rahim decided to tell him everything that had
happened without beating around the bush. Mr. Abu
understood the problem and did not punish Rahim
for being late for school.

The day went on. Rahim tried to erase the
incident that had occurred in the morning from his
mind but to no avail. During math class, Rahim was
called to the principal’s room. Rahim had alreadyfigured out what was going to happen. As expected,
Mr Kamal, the policemean, was waiting in the
principal’s room. Mr. Kamal’s visited the school was
to inform Rahim that the Gucci handbag wasreturned to the rightful owner. AT seems, the
handbag belonged to a rich lady by the name of
Miss Gaga’s . She was grateful that someone
returned her bag and wanted to give a small
appreciative gift worth RM 200 to Rahim for his
sincerity. Rahim was on cloud nine when he heard
this. Kudos to Rahim for being an honest boy!
