Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a young boy named Tom. Tom was known for his honesty and integrity throughout the village. He never told a lie and was always truthful, no matter what the circumstances were.
One day, Tom was walking through the forest when he came across a golden watch. He picked it up and looked for its owner but could not find anyone. He knew that the watch was valuable and the owner would be very upset if he couldn't find it.
Tom decided to take the watch to the village chief, who was known for his fair judgment. The village chief asked Tom to describe the watch and where he found it. After hearing Tom's story, the village chief declared that the watch belonged to the richest man in the village, Mr. Rich.
The next day, Tom took the watch to Mr. Rich's house and returned it to him. Mr. Rich was overjoyed to have found his watch and thanked Tom for his honesty. As a reward, he offered Tom a bag full of gold coins.
Tom refused to accept the reward, saying that he had only done what was right. He believed that honesty was the best policy, and he could not be bought with money. The news of Tom's honesty spread like wildfire in the village, and he became even more respected and admired.
From that day on, Tom was known as the most honest person in the village, and everyone looked up to him as a role model. The moral of the story is that honesty is always the best policy, and the truth will always come to light. It may not always bring immediate rewards, but in the end, it will always be the right thing to do.
