A 100 metre race

Jumba was playing football with his friends. Jumba knocked Kamau so that he could get hold of the ball.

“Jumba, did you knock Kamau?” the referee asked.

“Yes sir, I will not repeat it.”

The referee was pleased with Jumba’s honesty. He asked Jumba to apologise to Kamau and the game went on.

Honesty makes sports enjoyable for everyone.

Honesty comes by following the rules of the sport or game.

Dishonesty in sports may lead one or the team to be disqualified.
