Angela and Darren have two children. Their son, Kyle, is twenty years old and the daughter Rita, who is only six.
One Friday afternoon, Kyle's parents both had to work late. They asked him to pick Rita up at school in the afternoon. Kyle said yes.
Around 3:00 in the afternoon, Kyle got a call on his cellphone from his best friend, Peter. He asked him to go to Jessica's mother’s country house. And they would leave in fifteen minutes.
The house was wonderful. Kyle and his friends always talked about going there. Kyle looked at his watch and thought about how much fun he could have with his friends in the country house. He knew the teacher at Rita's school would call his grandmother if he did not pick her up. He hesitated for a moment, wanting to go with his friends.
But he knew he couldn’t let his parents and sister down. He said thank-you to his friend for the invitation, but he had made a promise that he really must keep. Realizing he din’t have much time left, Kyle rushed to his sister’s school.
He was five minutes late, and when he got there, he saw that Rita was very scared and was about to cry. She was the last student at the school, and the teacher was waiting with her. When she saw her big brother rushing to the gate of the school, Rita smiled. She ran to him and gave him a big hug. Kyle realized that he had done the right thing. He must always keep his word and be worthy of trust because his decisions influenced other people's lives.
