James and George, two top students, one valedictorian and the other salutatorian, were found guilty by their head teacher for a terrible act they did, secretly. This is a short story meant to teach the importance of good morals such as honesty, as you've well heard of , "Honesty is the best policy." If you enjoy this story kindly share and follow my account for more stories and poems as well. On a mundane and regular school day, a bell was rung but little was it known that its chiming determined the fate of these two boys and the author, myself, knew that there was not anything jovial to come next.
