Honesty is the best policy.

 Hello guys,

This is me Malavika and welcome to another blog of mine 😃.

So today's topic is about, an old proverb that quite dates back to the 15th century. And also i am pretty sure you all have at least heard this once atleast..

It is - Honesty is the best policy.

And before I continue, I would like to introduce one of my favorite bloggers, Elsa.

She posts small but very interesting stories in parts, greetings ( for any special events) and anything else you ask for!

The link to her blog is- https://brainybooksbyanika.blogspot.com/

So lets continue,

So many people must have heard this proverb - Honesty is the best policy. But just knowing this isn't enough. I would like ask, how many of you readers are really honest? Do comment in the comment section below.

When you are honest, you never need to worry of being caught in any crime, or anything like that. Honesty always builds a strong castle of your reputation. No one doubts you unnecessarily if you always say the truth, but if you lie more often than you say the truth, you will often see that people will doubt you if you try to say something truthfully also.

Have you heard the story of the Shepherd and the wolf?

If not it is about a shepherd who always tried to trick people by calling out to them that a wolf is coming to eat his sheep. But whenever they came running to chase the wolves away, they used to see this shepherd boy sitting there and laughing at them, joking that they got fooled by him and there really was no wolf. All the people used to go back to their homes with grumpy faces. But one day, a real wolf came to eat the shepherd's sheep. He cried out loud and shouted for people to come and help him but no one came because they thought that he was lying again. In the end the wold ate all of his sheep.

But if at all you have done something wrong, the best option is to own up about it (owning up means to admit or tell the truth that you have done something wrong)

There is a story of a girl called Alice. She was a girl who was very fond of oranges. one day some guests were coming to her house. So her mother prepared many dishes and also bought some fruits, among which were some oranges. Alice's mouth was watering when she saw the oranges so she asked her mom is she could take one. Her mother said," No dear, these oranges are for the guests, I will buy you some oranges tomorrow." She was upset with this. Later when her mother was greeting in the guests, she ran towards the kitchen, took an orange and put it in her pocket. As soon as her mother came into the kitchen, she sprinted towards the main hall to greet the guest's children. Later during the day, when she was playing with the guest's kids, she remembered about the orange. She was scared if she would mistakenly sit on it and squeeze it. She was very nervous to sit throughout the day. When the guests left, she went back to her mom and owned up about taking that orange. Her mother forgave and congratulated her for owning up to her.

So i hope that from today, you all will try to be honest.

That is it for today guys.

This is me Malavika, see you in the next blog.
