 The Party  Once there lived a young girl by the name of Jelisa. Jelisa lived in a small city house with her mother and father. Although she loved her parents dearly she hated that they were so strict and controlling. Her parents had many rules for her to follow. One day while at school, Jelisa’s best friend Tia invited her to her birthday party that was taking place that weekend. This party was going to be most popular event of the year and every student in school was planning to attend. Jelisa desperately wanted to be at this party but knew that her parents’ rules forbid her from attending it. So that evening after school Jelisa went home to ask her parents if she could go to the party, and as she expected they said "no". That weekend on the night of the party, Jelisa sat in her room mad for hour thinking about how much fun she would be having if only she was at that party. And after all the thinking she did she came up with the idea that if she snuck out of her window and went to the party her parents would never know that she was gone. So that night Jelisa got dressed in her best outfit and snuck out the window and headed over to the party. When Jelisa arrived at the party she saw that just about everyone from her school was there. She began dancing and having so much fun that hadn’t realized how much she had been peer pressured into drinking alcohol. After a couple more hours passed Jelisa was so drunk that she didn’t even know where she was anymore. But she continued dancing and drinking with her friends when out of nowhere the door busted open. And standing at the steps of the door were the cops stating that they had a noise complaint. When the cops entered the house and saw all the alcohol bottles they immediately began arresting everyone in sight including Jelisa. For the remainder of that night Jelisa and all her friends stayed in a jail cell and their parents were contacted. And because Jelisa participated in drinking alcohol she was charged with underage drinking. Although her parents were extremely upset with her for not listening to them, it was Jelisa who was hurt the most. She knew that if she had only honored her parents’ wishes and not attended that party all of this would have never happened.

Moral: Honor your father and mother.
