See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. (5:15)


"Stop it, Marcos!" Isabel yelled.

Carmen took a deep breath before she turned the corner and intervened In the argument going on between her two children.

"Marcos hit me!" Isabel complained as soon as she spotted her mother.

"Because you hit me first!" Marcos defended himself.

"You tore my book!"

"I told you that it was an accident!"

Isabel opened her mouth to argue further but Carmen stopped her.

"Both of you were wrong to hit each other." Carmen declared. "You're brother and sister and you love each other, don't you?"

They each looked at the other warily before nodding. "Si."

"Then, please, act like it." Carmen requested tiredly.

"I'll go get the tape." Isabel said. "Can you fix my book, Mama?"

"I'll help." Marcos volunteered cheerfully.

Carmen smiled. "Alright."
