Divide the participants into pairs. Each pair is to prepare a short play depicting the situation below. Half the pairs should depict the situation where Ayesha is guided by the value of dishonesty. The other half should show what happens when Ayesha is guided by honesty.

Ayesha travels from Ampara to Colombo for a wedding. While in Colombo she wants to take a few short trips in a trishaw and will need some small change (money in small denominations). She decides to change her Rs. 1,000 note at a local shop. Ayesha enters the shop and waits to be served. The seller politely welcomes Ayesha into the shop and says she is happy to help change the money, she understands that often, the trishaw drivers do not have change. She also apologizes that Ayesha had to wait to be served; she explains that today she is especially busy because her boss is sick and can’t come to the shop. After Ayesha has given the seller the Rs. 1,000 note, the seller returns Rs. 900 in Rs. 100 notes and gives her a bundle of five Rs 20 notes totaling the balance Rs 100. Ayesha looks at the money and realizes the shop keeper has made a mistake by handing her a Rs. 500 note in the bundle of Rs. 20 notes. What does Ayesha do next?

Once the role playing is complete ask the group to think about the consequences for the seller when Ayesha is dishonest. What could happen? Encourage the participants to think broadly and look at all the possible dimensions of the impact, including on the seller, her boss and family.
