Tom's father is a coward and not an honest man. He often tells lies and also wants his son to do so. One day Tom and Mike see a man beat a boy. A policeman catches the man and brings him before a judge. Tom and Mike have to go, too, to tell the judge what happens. Before Tom leaves home, his father says to him, "Be careful, son, tell the judge you saw nothing. Remember we have to live in this village with that man." But Tom is brave and honest. He doesn't obey his father. He tells the judge the truth.
