อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก
Imagine you have a toy store owner, Mr. Eli, who is very kind and honest. But his sons, who help in the store, do the opposite. They take extra money from kids and don't give them the right toys they paid for. This shows that doing the right thing is important, even when others around you don't.
