Darby and the Dance of Truth

Once upon a time there was a girl name Darby she used to lie every time. One day there was an art competition. Darby was super-duper excited because she love doing art. She raised her hand and said, "Mam pick me, pick me I love doing art." Mam wrote her name early in the morning she woke up and went to school. She thought, "I would lose bcz I told a lie what can I do now. Ohh I could just tell lie to mam. Mam I got hurt in my hand I can't do art anymore." Darby: "You can sit here and watch the childrens doing art." "Thank you mam." Mam understood that Darby was lying. Few days later there was a big dance competition. Darby was very excited bcz she love doing dance. She jumped from her seat and said loudly, "Mam pick me, pick me I love doing dance." But mam looked at her seriously and said, "Darby last time you told you practiced but you didn't you told a lie." Darby felt scared her heart went thump thump. She lowered her head and said softly, "Pls mam I am sorry I except I told a lie but now I will be honest." Mam thought for a moment and said, "Ok Darby I will give you last chance." "Ok mam." That evening Darby went to the park and set on a banch. She saw a parrot on a tree whow said in a sharp voice, "squaaq squaaq lying is bad lying is bad." Darby laughed and said, "Oh silly parrot It was just a small lie". Then she saw a dog barking. "Woof! Woof! Truth makes us strong truth makes us strong." But Darby ignored it. ON the day of competition Darby wore a shiny gown jacket when her turn came she went nervous everyone become silent shhhh!, Darby stood up and took a deep breath. Finally for the first time she said in her heart, "I lied before but now I will be honest with myself." She closed her eyes and dance with Truth, effort, and courage. Clap, clap, clap.
