Francsico goes along with his Abuelo (grandfather) to go and find work for a day. Abuelo does not speak English, and because of this, Francisco talks to the man with the truck, Ben, saying his grandfather is an excellent gardener. However, Abuelo doesn't know anything about gardening, and Ben finds out that Francisco was dishonest to him.

David is a little boy who always seems to find himself in trouble. When David gets in trouble, he always seems to blame it on other factors. David starts feeling sad about making excuses, and finds that apologizing is much better.

Teaching Idea: For this story, I could incorporate David's behaviors with my students. I would read the story aloud to them, and after each behavior, we can decide how honest David is being, and how it may or may not be making him feel.
