Sara was a lazy girl. She never completed her homework. One day, Sara went to an antique shop with her uncle. Sara was overjoyed when her uncle bought her an old pen. Sara took the pen to school the next day. In the class, the teacher asked Sara to show her homework. Expecting punishment, Sara showed her the incomplete work. “Very good, Sara. For once, you have completed your homework,” said the teacher. Surprised, Sara looked at the notebook and was startled. Her homework was neatly done. Just then, another boy John started crying. His notebook lay in tatters. The entire class was shocked. None knew how that happened. Every day, the pen would complete the notes for Sara, but in return another boy would lose his notebook. By then, Sara understood that the pen was wicked. This troubled her so much that she buried it deep in the garden.
