Honesty is the best policy - Honest or Dishonest
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. In that kingdom there lived a
king. He had no child. So he decided to take the honest and good child from the
kingdom.
He announced that all the children must come to his palace. The next day
all the children came to his palace. There were thousands of children. The king
gave them some seeds and asked to plant them. After 6 months they have to come
with the pot and whose pot will have a good plant he will take them as his child.
One of the thousands of children is ling. He is very honest and good. He
has taken the seeds and planted them. His mother helped him in looking over the
plant. He watered the pot daily but there is no plant. He was tensed.
The day arrived. All the children had a good plant but ling had only
barren pot. All of them laughed by seeing only barren pots. The king saw all
the plants but was surprised to see only one barren pot that is ling's pot. The
king asked ling "why didn't you have the plant", the ling answered, "I watered it daily but I am not able to get the plant, why the plant is not growing I didn't understand". The king thought for a while.
The king announced that "I am going to take ling as my child because the seeds which I gave you are the boiled seeds and doesn't produce any plant but how did you get the plant and ling had only barren
pot" on hearing this all children felt ashamed and went off. Ling lived
happily with his father in the palace.
Moral: honesty is the way to gain happiness.
