Back inside the house, Harriet settled herself onto the sofa again, while her grandfather sat down in the large, comfortable armchair that he had bought for himself many years before. “Have I told you the one about Lulu and the colored wool?” The child shook her head. “Well,” the old man began. “You yourself are lucky. Way back in the day, schoolchildren did not have all these cool gadgets to play with like you do these days. They had to entertain themselves with simple things and play with one another. In those days, many girls didn’t receive a proper education and just learned things like housekeeping and knitting that would make them good homemakers. Once, there was a little girl named Lulu who spent most of her school hours knitting scarves, socks and stockings, though she was only six years old. Some of the older girls were sewing on canvas with pretty colored wool, and making what appeared to little Lulu to be the most beautiful pictures. How she longed for a length of the pink or blue wool to have for her very own!

The Little Voice
After more than an hour of car chases, shootouts and robberies, Harriett was finally burnt out. “Mega Theft Moto” was great fun and incredibly addictive, but it was starting to get just a little monotonous. Harriet got up from the sofa, stretched and yawned, and began to ponder what she could do with herself on this chilly winter’s morn. Peering out the living room window, she saw Grandpa George busily pruning his rosebush in the garden.

The school was in a room upstairs, and at the top of the stairs there was a window, with a deep window-sill in front of it. As Lulu came out of the schoolroom one day to take a message for the teacher, and turned to close the door after her, she saw that the window-sill was piled up with bundles of the pretty colored wool that she liked so much. Oh, how she wished for a little of it for herself! She grabbed a handful, stuffed it in her pocket, and ran downstairs.

But then a little voice said: “Lulu, you are stealing; that wool is not yours!” Slowly she walked back upstairs and gently put the wool back on the window-sill. Then she took the message to the teacher, and returned to her classroom to continue knitting. Though she felt a twinge of shame, she was glad in her heart that she has listened to the voice.
