HE TOLD NO LIES #Inspirational Moral Stories
A farmer’s
younger brother, fell in love with a duke’s daughter! The elder
brother
realised he had to somehow help his younger brother. He made his
brother
wear his oldest suit which was mended with many pieces of cloth.
Then, he
made him sit near the hearth that was built under a sound roof. He
handed
his brother a bowl containing two gold coins, and told him to keep on
passing
these from one hand to the other.
When the
farmer met the duke, he asked how much money his brother had.
The
farmer honestly replied that money passed through his brother’s hands
all the
while! When the duke asked what kind of house he had, he replied:
‘He has
a sound roof above his head!’ The duke next asked whether he had a
good
wardrobe. The farmer answered: ‘He wears much more clothes than
me!’
Though he had not got a single direct reply, the duke was very
impressed.
And, without any lie, the farmer got his brother married.
