Abraham Lincoln

    Abraham Lincoln was a man of great integrity. He was called “Honest Abe”. When on a ride with a colonel, he was offered alcohol and tobacco. He refused. He explained that on her deathbed, he made a promise to his mother when he was nine years old  that he would never consume whiskey or tobacco. Until then he had kept his promise. The colonel respected Abraham Lincoln even more for not breaking it after all of those years. This shows that one must not tempt another and that one must not be tempted.
