The Honest Beaver

Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, there lived a beaver named Billy. Billy loved building dams and taking care of his family. But Billy had a problem - he wasn't always honest.

One day, while exploring the forest, Billy found a shiny gold coin. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen! Billy thought about keeping it for himself, but he remembered his mother's words, 'Honesty is the best policy.'

Billy decided to find the owner of the coin. He asked all the animals he met in the forest if they had lost something valuable, but no one had. Finally, he spotted a little squirrel named Sammy, looking very sad.
