Story: Honesty is the Best Policy
Once upon a time, the son of a king went hunting. While hunting in the forest, he got separated from his companions and lost his way. As he wandered, evening fell. In the distance, he saw a small hut. When he approached, he realized it was the home of a farmer. The prince asked the farmer, “It’s getting late, and I’ve lost my way. Could I stay here for the night?”
The farmer replied, “This is your home. Please, come in! We’d be happy to have you here. We don’t have much, but whatever little food we have is yours.”
The prince spent the night at the farmer’s house, rested well, and prepared to leave in the morning. As he was leaving, he took a gold coin from his wallet and offered it to the farmer. The farmer refused to accept it, saying, “We didn’t serve you for the sake of money. It was our moral duty to help you. Why would you embarrass us by offering money?”
Later that day, the farmer’s son took the ox and went to the fields. On his way, he found a wallet lying on the ground. He opened it and saw that it contained twenty gold coins. The boy buried the wallet right where he had found it and went back home to tell his father. His father praised him and said, “You did the right thing by leaving the wallet there. It belongs to someone else. We’ll wait for the owner and return it to them when they come looking.”
A year later, the prince passed by the same area again and decided to stop by and visit the farmer. During their conversation, he mentioned losing his wallet the previous year. The farmer was overjoyed and said, “My son found your wallet and buried it where he discovered it. You may go and retrieve it.”
The prince asked the farmer to have his son bring it. The farmer sent his son, who returned with the wallet. The prince opened it and found all the gold coins intact. Overwhelmed with joy, he added twenty more gold coins to the wallet and said to the farmer, “Take this wallet as a reward. I am the king’s son.”
Upon hearing this, the farmer fell at the prince’s feet and said, “We didn’t know you were our ruler’s son. Now that I know, I’ll humbly accept this reward. I will use it for my son’s wedding.”
It is true that honesty always bears fruit, and an honest person is always respected and successful in this world.
The story beautifully highlights the timeless value of honesty and how it brings respect and rewards in unexpected ways.
