"Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was known for his honesty and truthfulness, even before he became the 16th President of the United States.

​

When he was a young storekeeper, Mr. Lincoln discovered that a customer had overpaid for her groceries. That night after closing up his shop, he walked the 3 miles to the woman’s house to pay back the money she had overpaid.

 

Abe Lincoln was honest in all areas of his life, in everything he said and did. He believed that honesty was always the best policy. 

 

How do you show honesty through your own actions?"
