During the assembly, the headmistress gave the two students, a male and female, Gh¢20 each for their honesty.

“This is what we want. So, in my own small way, I have this Gh¢20 for him. You also have this. Because the fact is that some people are busily stealing. These are virtues that we will want you to uphold and so we will reward such people.”

The student populace applauded the two for returning the money, a virtue Mrs Andam urged the other students to emulate.

“All of you need to be careful; don’t be careless. You may not always meet Papa Santa and Mama Santa. You will meet people who want to steal. It pays to do good.”
