Question

Write a story to illustrates of saying. "it pays to be honest"

Answer 1

This is a real story: This passage is about an emperor that just wants his empire to be in good hands when picking a successor. The emperor will determine the right successor by testing their capabilities by giving each of them a seed to grow, which will be returned next year with what they have grown. A young man named Ling saw no sign of life after caring for the plant for three weeks. However, the other young people in the empire boasted of their seeds’ progress. When the day arrived to bring the plants back for inspection, Ling had no choice but to go empty-handed. The emperor chose Ling to be the successor because llttle did they know that the emperor boiled the seeds earlier, so that they would never grow. It’s clear that when the seeds would not grow, you substituted a different seed for the one the emperor gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage to be honest, thus he is the brand-new emperor.

Answer 2

"SONOMA NEWS"

Think you had gone to the bank and credit some cash from your private account. When you came back home you noticed that you had an additional $900 in your pocket. What would you do?

Option 1: Save the cash assuming it was your fortunate day

Option 2: God has favored me today. I am grateful to him for providing me with this money

Option 3: It was the bank’s mistake. Their problem, they overcompensated me. It was not my mistake so I will simply keep or use the money.

Option 4: Something is wrong. I will go back to the bank and repay the $900.

Which choice would you make?

Well, Fijian Amelia Naiqama, who serves as a caregiver in Sonoma, California, United States, made the right decision; Option 4. She ran to the bank to pay the money but it was closed. She went to the bank the next day. But they informed her that their statements were balanced. She dropped her contact number and told them to contact her if the circumstances changed.

later reaching home, the bank phoned her and said they had found the error. When she arrived at the bank, she was greeted by the bank with a bouquet of flowers and a thank you card.  Her tale made it to the paper, Sonoma News, as she set a trend of honesty.
