LESSON:
 “Don’t make promises you know you can’t keep.” This is the lesson I learned about the
legend of Magat River. Many people are pretty casual about making promises. When you
break a promise no matter how small it may seem to you, but the person whom you made
a promise, it’s a big thing to them. If you break a promise, you also break trust that
person. If you make a promise, make sure to keep it.
