Tell the truth

This book is the best because you can learn a new lesson about telling the truth. I am seven years old.

A classic lesson to be learned. Some politicans should read this book.

By reading this book with my six year old son I hope he take heed in the lesson. Your word is your bond.

This is the classic story of the boy who cried wolf. The young boy cried wolf too many times the villagers did not believe him anymore. The day when the wolves did come the villagers didn't believe his lies and did not come. The wolves ate his sheep. This story tells it's readers that lying is bad and telling the truth is the right thing to do.

[Terry Manning]

traditional story with message about not lying
