Once upon a time there was a tan fox named Frank. Frank was a happy fox who liked to play in the field but one day there was a problem. It was a big stormy rain. Frank hid under a bush in the field, but he was feeling sad. 
Suddenly, a rabbit hopped by. "Hi, Frank," said the rabbit. "Why are you so sad?"
Frank lied and said he was okay. But inside he was scared of the rain. 
The rabbit hopped a bit closer to Frank. "It's okay to tell the truth," the rabbit said. "I know you are scared of the rain. I get scared too. Why don't we journey together to the end of the field to escape from the storm?"
Frank thought about it for a moment and decided it was a good idea. He hopped out from under the bush and followed the rabbit. 
The two friends eventually made it to the far end of the field, safe and warm.  When the storm passed, the bright sunlight shone down and made the field come alive again. 
The moral of this story is that it is always better to tell the truth. Lying can cause you to feel scared and lonely. An honest friend is a dead friend and one honest word can be worth more than a thousand false ones.
