Anna told us a story and painted a picture to help us think about the story in a different way.
An injured man was lying on the road. A man who lived in the same village walked past. He did not stop to help the man. Then a priest walked past. He did not stop to help him either. Finally a man from another country (a Samaritan) walked past. He noticed the man lying in the road and he stopped to help him. The Samaritan took care of the man and helped him to get better.
We thought about the message in this story. When we see someone who needs our help we have a choice to make. We can cross over the road and walk by or we can stop and help. We do not always make the right choice; sometimes we are too busy doing other things. Our value of Honesty helps us to be honest with ourselves to think about the times we made the decision not to help so that we can think about what we might choose to do differently in the future.
