In this episode we learn the important lesson of trust, and keeping your word. After teaching Opie a lesson about the importance of always keeping your word, Andy found himself in a tough spot. Opie made a sacred trust not to tell anyone that his new friend, George "Tex" Foley, was a runaway. Andy struggled with violating Opie's trust and helped return the boy to his family. In doing so, he had to explain that there are exceptions to every rule.
As you know I'm a big believer in trust and character. There's an old saying that goes something like, "A person is only as good as their word."
Explain what that phrase means.
Use examples in your answer.
