Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a humble farmer named John. He had a little farm where he grew vegetables and took care of a few animals. John was known for his honesty and hard work.

One day, a stranger came to the village. He claimed to be a merchant and offered a bag of gold to anyone who could give him the rarest flower in the world. The villagers were excited and started searching for the flower.

When the stranger reached John's farm, he asked if he had the rarest flower. John told him honestly that he did not have any rare flowers but would help search for it. The stranger was disappointed and moved on to the next villager.

Days passed, and the villagers couldn't find the rare flower. The stranger returned to the village and met John again. This time, he asked if anyone had been honest with him. John admitted that he was the only one who had been honest.

Impressed by John's honesty, the stranger revealed that he was a king in disguise. He rewarded John with a bag of gold and declared him the most trustworthy person in the village. The villagers were amazed and learned a valuable lesson about honesty.

From that day forward, John's farm prospered, and he always remained humble and honest. The villagers respected him and sought his advice. And they all lived happily ever after.
