Character Education - Honesty
This lesson will focus on two character education traits - honesty and friendship. During this lesson the students will conduct a character analysis and link prior knowledge to help understand the story.


Summary of story:
Horace the main character tells a fib when he finds a toy truck and claims it as his own. His conscience bothers him but the toy is too irrestible to admit the truth. He experiences turmoil from holding on to his terrible secret. He lies to his teacher, mother, and even the doctor (he pretends to be sick). Walter is the owner of the truck and he knows Horace has it. Walter writes Horace a get-well letter. Read the story to find out how the story ends.
