Near the old forest path, children found a beautiful lantern hanging from a tree branch.

When they touched it, the lantern flickered softly and then dimmed.

A carved note read, "This light belongs to honest hearts."

One child admitted she had broken a toy by mistake. The lantern glowed warmly.

Another confessed he had blamed his sister unfairly. The glow became brighter.

Everyone stared in wonder at the honest light.

Rohan stood quietly, holding a heavy secret in his chest.

He had hidden that he accidentally cracked the school window last week.

He feared getting in trouble, so he stayed silent while the lantern dimmed.

Taking a deep breath, Rohan said, "I broke the window. I was scared to admit it."

The lantern burst into the brightest golden light anyone had ever seen.

Instead of anger, he received understanding, help, and respect.

From that day, children used the lantern as a reminder to speak honestly.

Rohan felt lighter, freer, and more confident than before.

He learned that honesty is the brightest courage.

Remember TRUTH whenever you need guidance:
