A Sting From a Scorpion

We must always choose the right because we don’t know the consequences we will get for choosing the wrong. A little kid was told to wear shoes because in the desert there are many animals/insects they are exposed to. He thought about but said,” I’m just going for a little while no need to wear shoes there sandals will be good enough.” Sadly the sandals weren’t good enough the child ended up getting stung by a scorpion. The pain and sorrow he felt at that moment were the consequences he received because he chose the wrong. Even if we are told something simple we must obey it because there are consequences. As Mark Twain stated we must always do the right thing so we can be fine healthy and not in pain like that poor little kid. That day he learned a very valuable lesson to always do the right thing at that moment and rebel to what his parents told him. It is better if we choose now to do the right things than doing it later on when something bad has happened to us. We may think oh we are okay nothing bad will happen to us but in reality it isn’t for sure that we will be okay if we don’t choose the right.

Thomas S. Monson Experience

Thomas S. Monson learned a very important lesson when he was 8 years old because he learned how being disobedient has big consequences. At the time Thomas was young he didn't know as much as he knows now. He was being disobedient to his parents when they told him to not play with matches and he did it anyway not knowing something bad would have happened. He wanted to go out and have a camping sleepover. Him and his friend Danny went and thought they could pull out the grass with just their hands. But when they actually tried it it was impossible. That's when Thomas and Danny thought about burning the grass so they can have a camping sleepover. At that moment Thomas was being disobedient and got the matches thinking the fire was going to stop anytime they wanted. When they saw the fire was getting bigger and they didn't know what was gonna happen. So they decided to call for help and they put the fire down but that they learned a very important lesson that '' Obedience is the great test of life''.
