RITHIka's Thoughts on Book 4:

JUNIE B.,FIRST GRADER
CHEATER PANTS
By Barbara Park.

Here comes the world's funniest first grader,the one and only Junie B.Jones.I was introduced to her on my 7th birthday.I got a whole stack of Junie B.Jones' books from my parents.

"Weekend"-that is the nickname of Saturday and Sunday.Those days zoomed by quickly.
That's why Junie B. had got no time to do her homework.On Sunday night,Junie B. begged to stay up and do it,but her daddy just said "no" and turned off the light.
Now,at school Junie was wondering what to do without homework.Then she got this crazy idea of just copying down from the paper of May.May was sitting next to her, but she was never been nice to her.When she went to office,Junie copied from her paper.After that she turned her homework in.

Her teacher Mr.Scary,was not pleased about what Junie did.They had a long talk and a note was sent to Junie B.'s parents.Her mom and dad warned her not to be a "cheater pants" again, and signed the paper.

The next day Junie gave back the signed paper to Mr.Scary.On that very same day,she cheated on the spelling test!She sneaked into the paper of Herbert who was sitting in front of her.Herb saw how upset Junie B. was because she couldn't spell the word "would".So he showed his paper to her.

That night, Junie B. could not sleep well.She did cheating two days in a row.She became a "cheater pants" again.

On the next day, when she got on the bus,she saw Herb,tired,just like her with puffy eyes.They were feeling bad because they cheated.It was a horrible feeling!!.They told Mr.Scary what they did.Mr.scary was happy about their honesty.He was sure they won't cheat again.

Mr.Scary called Junie B.'s parents on the phone and told them what happened.Now Junie B.'s parents are happy about her honesty and Junie B. slept well that night!!

The lesson I learned is we should not cheat or we can't sleep at night.Cheating bothers us and others.So be honest.This is the moral.
