Most of Tom's neighbours were friendly. They were always ready to help each other when they were in trouble. But there was one woman who was disliked by everyone because she was always borrowing things from her neighbours but forgetting to give them back.

One morning, Tom heard a knock at his front door, and when he opened the door he found this woman outside.

“Good morning, Tom！I have to take some things to my sister in the town today, but I haven't got a horse, as you know. Will you lend me yours? I will bring it back this evening.”

“I'm sorry，” answered Tom. “If my horse was here, I would lend it to you, but it isn't.”

“Oh？” said the woman. “It was here last night because I saw it under the tree in your garden. Where is it now？”

“My wife took it to the town early this morning，” answered Tom.

Just then the horse made a big noise.

“You're not telling the truth, Tom！” the woman said angrily. “ I can hear your horse. You should tell the truth to your neighbour.”

“Sure！” said Tom. “Is it good manners to believe a horse's word rather than that of your own neighbour？”

dear friend, take care of yourself.
