"Our heart is our treasure"
Boys!
Yes!
Now Simen has to go home, because you have to go in and do your homework, Andreas.
You have Activities Club today, you know. Yes, goodbye, see you at Activities Club!
Andreas, you have to come now; we're going to Activities Club! OK!
Oh no, now I forgot to do my homework.
Hi Andreas! Have you done your homework?
Yes!
Everything?
Yes
Here's your songbook.
Children, we must keep our heart with all diligence!
For example, do you think that those who tell lies have a pure and good heart?
Noooo!
That's right. They don't have a pure heart.
What did he say?
Can something happen to my heart if I lie?
Can I get sick?
Have you done your homework? Everything?
For example, do you think that those who tell lies have a pure and good heart?
Are you OK?
No, I don't really know.
I think I'm a little bit sick.
Really? What's wrong with you, then?
I think there's something wrong with my heart!
Hey, do you want to come up to the kitchen and make waffles for the others on your team?
Andreas, why do you think there's something wrong with your heart?
Because you said yourself that if we lie, then we don't have a pure and good heart.
You see, I lied today.
Mom asked me to do my homework and just as I was about to...
...mom asked me if I'd done my homework, and I said that I had, so I lied.
Did you lie?
But listen, and I'll tell you a story.
Once there was a very rich man who was going to make a long journey,
and he had a really precious treasure that he couldn't take with him on his travels.
So he went to his neighbor's house, because a little boy lived there,
and he asked him to look after his treasure while he was gone.
Then he said to the boy that he must never lose sight of the treasure
and that he had to take the treasure everywhere with him.
Then he left on his journey.
Then the boy looked after his treasure day and night,
but one day he ldropped the treasure and it became really dirty.
The boy was really upset and ran home to his mother and cried.
"What will the rich man say now, when he sees his treasure like this?" thought the boy.
His mother comforted him and said that he could find a clean cloth and wipe the treasure clean again
Then the boy was really happy and hurried to do as his mother had said
and it wasn't long before the treasure was just as clean and beautiful as before.
Now the boy looked after the treasure better than ever before
and he looked forward to the rich man's return, so he could see how well he'd looked after the treasure
The boy ran to meet him to show how well he'd looked after the treasure
and he got a really big reward!
You see, Andreas, the treasure in this story is your heart, your thoughts and your body.
You have to keep these pure from sin.
I know that you're exactly like the boy in the story.
He dropped the treasure so that it became dirty,
and you lied to your mother.
Now you have to go and tell her that you lied to her, and say you're sorry.
Then your heart will be completely clean and beautiful again.
Do you understand it a bit better now, Andreas?
Yes, now I'm completely well again!
