In the town of Tap-Tap-Tickle, Benny the Beetle loved to giggle. With his bright red shell that gleamed like jelly, Benny danced around, happy and jolly.

One sunny day, Benny found a pebble, shiny and smooth like a prince's pebble. 'Oh, what fun!' he said with a grin. 'This pebble can be my new kin!'

Benny told his friend, Lucy the Ladybug, 'I found this pebble - it's magic, I say!' But Lucy peered and paused a tad, 'Magic? Oh Benny, don’t be mad!'

The pebble wasn't magic, just smooth and bright. When Benny shared, he knew he wasn’t right. But Benny smiled and said it loud, 'I just wanted to make a crowd.'

With a hop and a bop, toward the truth he did trot. Telling his friends was a step forward, a lot!

They all laughed and chirped and cheered with glee, 'Benny, you’re honest, as honest can be!'

From that day forth, Benny chose to be true. He found that honesty, not magic, was quite a view!

So if you feel like telling a tall tale, remember Benny’s truth, bold and pale.

Laughter will ring, together you’ll sing—when honesty is the song you bring!

For magic lies not in a pebble small, but in hearts pure and stories for all.

And Benny the beetle, with a wise, jolly rhyme, knew the biggest truth was just in time.

The end of his tale, both simple and neat, is that honesty makes life truly sweet!
