Remember: A promise is saying what you will do, and then doing it. Kept promises grow trust, one at a time, and a word that slipped can be mended.

Leo and the pencilMia had a purple pencil with a gold star on top. When Leo's pencil snapped in art class, he asked to borrow hers. "I will give it back on Monday. I promise," said Leo. Mia handed it over, and on Monday morning Leo was at her desk with the pencil, star and all. Weeks later he borrowed a ruler, and then a book, and both came back on time. Each kept promise grew a little trust. One Friday Leo needed four pretend coins for a bake sale. "I will pay you back next Friday," he said. Mia said yes at once, because Leo's word had always counted.
