Janie and the Music Player Janie had constant thoughts about getting a music player. One day, she was late to class. She hurried down the hall but halted when she saw a backpack on the floor. She looked inside and found nothing but some books. She reached inside the bag and felt a small object at the bottom. It was a music player enclosed in a black case! Janie tended to be honest, and she had no valid reason to take the device. However, her desire for the player influenced her decision. She slyly put the device into her own backpack. When she arrived at class, she gave her teacher the bag. "I found this," she said. Ms. Johnson asked, "Does this backpack belong to anyone?" A girl named Linda claimed the bag. Linda looked inside and yelled, "My music player is missing! Janie took it!" Janie answered, "I did not!" Linda responded, "You were the only one that had access to it! If your version of the story is true, you'll let Ms. Johnson check your bag." Janie started to perspire as she realized the impending trouble she was in. She gripped her bag tightly. Ms. Johnson took the bag from Janie. Inside, she found the player. "Janie I never expected this kind of conduct from you." she said. "You've always been such a good student." Ms. Johnson gave Linda the player. Linda said, "Ms Johnson, look!" There was a crack along one side. She turned it to the "on" mode, but it wouldn't work. It must've snapped while Janie was holding onto the bag so tightly. Ms. Johnson called Janie's parents. They were very upset. "Stealing is illegal. You have no respect for the law whatsoever," they said, "We bought you a music player, but we're giving it to Linda. It will replace the one you broke." In the end, Janie's bad behavior left her with nothing at all.

简妮和音乐播放器简妮一直想买一个音乐播放器。 一天，她上课迟到了。 她匆匆穿过大厅，但当她看到地板上有一个背包时，她停了下来。 她往里看了看，除了几本书什么也没找到。 她把手伸进包里，摸到了包底有个小东西。 那是一个装在黑色盒子里的音乐播放器！珍妮倾向于诚实，她没有正当理由拿走那个装置。 然而，她对玩家的渴望影响了她的决定。 她狡猾地把设备放进了自己的背包里。 当她到达教室时，她把书包给了老师。 “我发现了这个，”她说。Ms。 约翰逊问：“这个背包是谁的吗？”一个叫琳达的女孩认领了那个包。 琳达往里看了看，喊道：“我的音乐播放器不见了！简妮拿去了！”珍妮回答说：“我没有！”琳达回答说：“你是唯一能接触到它的人！如果你的说法是真的，你就会让。 约翰逊，检查一下你的包。”当珍妮意识到自己面临迫在眉睫的麻烦时，她开始冒汗。 她紧紧地抓着包。 约翰逊女士从珍妮手里接过包。 在里面，她找到了玩家。 “珍妮，我从没想过你会做出这种行为。” 她说。“你一直是个好学生。” 约翰逊女士把播放器给了琳达。 琳达说：“约翰逊女士，看！”一侧有一条裂缝。 她把手机调到开启模式，但不管用。 肯定是在珍妮紧紧抓着包的时候断的。 约翰逊给珍妮的父母打了电话。 他们非常沮丧。“偷窃是非法的。 他们说：“你根本不尊重法律。我们给你买了一个音乐播放器，却要送给琳达。” 它会代替你弄坏的那个。” 最后，珍妮的不良行为让她一无所有。
