Honesty is the Best Policy

Long ago in Africa, a poor man worked for a

farmer. He complained so much that the king
heard about it.
“Why are you always complaining?” the king
asked.
“However hard I work I never earn extra
money. I shall always be poor,” complained
the man.
“But are you honest?” asked the king.
“Of course I am honest,” replied the man.
“Then you will be rich,” said the king. “Here
are two bags. The little one is for you and the
big one is for the farmer.”
As he walked along, the man wondered why
the king had given him the small bag when he
was much poorer than the farmer. It wasn’t
fair. He thought of keeping the big bag for
himself, but that would not be honest.
Just before he got to the farm he hid the big
bag and took the small bag to the farmer. The
farmer was pleased to get a present from the
king. He opened the bag. It was full of gold!
The poor man ran back to the hiding place,
shouting, “I’m rich!, I’m rich!” But when he
opened the bag it was full of seed.
