(Let me tell you a story that shows the importance of always telling the truth.)
Once upon a time, in a small town, lived a little boy. His name was Peter. He was 8 years old. He liked to play and to have fun. Peter was in charged of the sheep of the family. Everyday after school,he took the sheep to a beautiful meadow near the town. One day he was in the field with the sheep. He was tired that day. He started thinking about what to do to have fun. Suddenly he came up with an idea. He started to shout loudly: "Help, help, the wolf".
The wolf is eating my sheep" "Help".
People in the town listened to him. He sounded extremely afraid. They took their tools and some sticks and they ran to the meadow to help him. But when they arrived to the place Peter was, he started laughing.
"I cheated you" he said. And he laughed and laughed. The men from the town were really angry at him and they told him : "Don't lie to us again". Peter promised that he wouldn't do it again.
The days passed and there Peter was in the field again. He was taking care of the sheep. And the idea of cheating the men of the town emerged again. And what do you think he did? . You're right. He started to scream "wolf" again: "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming". When the men in the town listened to him they thought it was real. Because they believed in the promise Peter made of telling the truth.
They ran to the meadow to help him, but imagined what happened when they returned. They found Peter laughing and saying: "Ha,ha. I cheated you again. Ha,ha."
The people from the town were extremely . They left him with his sheep and they returned to the town.
But the destiny is fair. One day the wolf really appeared. Peter started screaming and asking for help. But nobody in the town ran to help him. They listened to the screams but nobody helped him. The wolf ate all his sheep . Peter was really sad. He returned to the town and told everybody what happened. The men and the women were sad for him but they told him: "We hope you have learned your lesson".Peter answered: "Yes, I learned that I must always tell the truth".
