Wally Forrest and Moochy Seafield were walking down the aisle.
" I need sugar and flour" Moochy said as he read from his mother's list. " Wally, do you see them?".
His friend slowly walked down the aisle and then spotted the package. " Here's the flour".
" Good, all we need now is the sugar".
Both boys looked intently on the shelves.
" Here it is" Wally said as he put the package in the cart.
" Ok, that's all that's on my mother's list".
They walked toward the checkout lanes.
Moochy stopped and began to walk down the candy aisle." Want a salted nut roll Wally?".
" No" his friend replied as he searched his pockets. " I don't have any money".
" They won't know" his friend said as he looked around and then put two into his black coat pocket. " They won't even notice their gone".
" That's stealing Moochy" Wally said quietly as they walked toward the checkout lane. " In confirmation class, we learned that stealing was breaking one of the ten commandments".
His friend shook his head and bought the groceries.
Moochy smiled as they reached the glass door. " See I told you nothing would happen".
Just then, a hand went on Moochy's shoulder. " Son, we need to talk".




I pray that everyone has a great Easter weekend. Love Ric
