Before leaving home, he said to 21 , “If tomorrow the prophet asks me 22 I have been, shall I say that I went out to steal? No, I can’t say that. But 23 can I tell a lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will call me a thief.” So the man decided 24 that night.
Next day, when the man was about to drink 25 , he thought, “What shall I say to the prophet 26 he asks me what I did during the day? I 27 not tell a lie, and if I tell the truth, people will hate me because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine.” So he gave up the idea of drinking wine. 28 , whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he 29 remembered his promise to tell the truth. Step by step, he didn’t do anything 30 . He became a good Muslim and a very good person.
