Addicted to a Lifestyle
“Could you give me some money or cigarettes and beer instead?”, said the homeless man, “I don’t eat food from cheap vendors.”
Pedro felt a slight anger of being rejected by the homeless person. Nevertheless he just returned near the food vendor and resumed eating his sandwich and bottle of water. Yet, he can’t believe how a hungry looking homeless person could reject an offer of food and water.
“They’re addicted to their lifestyles,” said the street vendor suddenly, “they can’t seem to accept the reality of their situation now that they are broke and homeless. They still think they deserve the best of everything even though they have no money to buy them.”
“You know that homeless man?”, asked Pedro, “It’s crazy to think that a man with no money to buy food would still insist on eating expensive food when he has no money to buy them.”...
The Book of Riches
“This is how you spent my hard earned money?”, said Amonsak as he threw the book he was holding in the floor, “Did you know that I would have to work for a week just to replace the money you spent on this book.”

“You and your dreams. I knew I shouldn’t have given you a chance to go to school. You should have been spending your time instead working on our farm.”

Story With Moral: Don’t Judge a Teen By His Posters
Amelia’s face turned red as she entered her young son’s room. There it was, plastered in one of the walls of his son’s bedroom, a poster of her son’s favorite actress. Her blood nearly boiled when she saw that the actress was posing provocatively, with hardly any clothing.
