Taking something that does not belong to you is called stealing. People steal because they don’t think they can get something by working for it. But really, when you steal something it has a very high cost. It upsets the person it is stolen from because they do not have it anymore and they don’t know where it went. Also, if you steal something, you will find that you don’t enjoy it as much as you thought you would because you have to hide it.
Stealing is against the law and people who steal can get into a lot of trouble. It is better and easier to work to get things honestly.
The way to happiness can’t be traveled with stolen things.
