Bad Company

Once a boy fell into bad company. He began to waste time. It disturbed his father. He tried his best to set him on the right path, but all his efforts proved in vain.

One day the father thought Of a plan. He bought some fresh apples from the market. He bought one rotten apple also. Then he said to his son, “Put these apples in the cupboard.” The boy did so.

Next day, the father asked his son to bring all the apples. The boy opened the cupboard and was shocked to see that all the apples were rotten. The father said, “One rotten apple has spoiled all the good ones. Bad friends are like rotten apples. They will spoil you”. The boy understood everything. He immediately gave up bad company and became a good boy again.

Moral : Better alone than in a bad company.
