Keeping Secrets

Secrets, even for me are hard to keep. Even if a person tells me, " Promise you won't tell?" I promise, but I end up blowing it to my trustworthy little sister. Even telling it to a trustworthy person is not good.

STORY TIME!!!

This is a story that my mother told me.

" There was once a lady who told someone a secret and asked that person to promise not to tell anyone. But guess what happened. That lady told someone! Then, it spread around the whole town. the lady who told the secret was very upset. So, she went to a very wise man who lived on the outskirts of town. She went to his house and described the problem. He then told her to go to a market and by a chicken with feathers, and on her way back, she should pluck it's feathers and leave them on the road. She did that. After that, he asked her to go back and pick them up. She said they were all gone. ' Those feathers are like the secrets you told that person' he said. ' You should never tell someone a secret.'"
