Long time ago there was a boy who loves to read, his name was Jerry and a boy who loves to play a lot, his name was Henry. Henry always read when he is doing nothing unlike Henry who plays all the time.

One day Henry was playing and he met Jerry to play with him but Jerry said NO! Jerry told Henry that he loves to play a lot and that it is not a good character. Jerry advised his friend to read with him but Henry refused

Soon it was time for examination, Jerry was confident because he read his books. Henry tried to peep into other children's books to get answers but no one let him. He was sad because he knew he was going to fail.

Henry sat down alone, he was very sad. He thought that he could pass his exams without reading, but their was nothing he could do, he had to wait for the result.

Results came out, as expected Jerry passed with flying colours. Henry failed so he had to repeat his class again, he spent another year in primary school. It was really sad.

Henry's father, mother and siblings were all disappointed in him, his friends laughed at him because he was far behind them. Henry walked with shame in his community.

Henry went back to his books, he read with so much zeal. He said, " I will pass my exams and become somebody in the future".and so he read and passed his exams the next year. He was very happy.

Sometimes in the future Henry and Jerry met Henry was a lawyer while Jerry was a doctor. Henry thanked Jerry for advising him to read as he later went back to read after his first failure. Jerry was proud of his friend, they were all happy.
