Once upon a time there was a little boy named Thomas who lived in a small town in the Midwest. Thomas was only six years old, but his curiosity and aptitude was way beyond his age. He was very eager to learn and understand the things around him.

His parents and close relatives were very religious and so was Thomas. He was taught from an early age the importance of following the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. This instilled in him a strong sense of morality and a desire to do what was right even if it was difficult.

One day, Thomas found himself in a tough situation. A group of older children were taunting him about his religious beliefs and trying to get him to give up his beliefs and join them in their endeavors. Thomas was scared but he stood his ground and continued to state his beliefs. The group of children began to mock him and eventually started throwing stones at him. Thomas was frightened and ran inside his house.

Once inside, he cried out to his parents who had been listening to the entire altercation. His parents were very angry and they showed it to the children who were now standing outside their door. He was too scared to come out of the house, so his parents went outside and told the children that what they had done was wrong and that it was against the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.

The children, realizing their mistake, apologized to Thomas and his parents and ran off vowing to never do something like that again. Thomas was relieved and thanked his parents for teaching him the importance of standing up for his beliefs and standing up for what was right.

The incident taught Thomas a valuable lesson that day. That moral values were not just something to be preached but were to be followed and followed with determination. He learned that it was never okay to give up his beliefs in the face of pressure or ridicule and that it was always important to stand up for what was right.

The moral of the story is that, no matter what our beliefs, it is important to stand up for them and stand up for what is right. We must never let the pressure of others keep us from doing what is right and we must always strive to do what is best for ourselves and those around us.
