Once upon a time, there was a proud king who had a big staff of helpers. They all worked hard to make the king happy. One day, the king found out that one of his helpers had done something wrong. He called all of his staff to find out who did it.
The king said, "Who did the bad thing? I will punish the one who did it." All the helpers were scared. They did not want to be punished. One helper, a little girl named Lily, was very brave. She said, "I did it, but it was an accident. I am sorry."
The king looked at Lily and thought for a moment. Then he said, "Lily, I will not punish you. I am proud of you for telling the truth. You are a good helper." All the other helpers were surprised. They thought the king would be angry. But instead, he was happy because Lily was honest. From that day on, everyone in the staff worked harder and always told the truth.
