Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, There lived a King and Queen, wise in every way. They ruled with fairness, and with love in their heart, Their kingdom prospered, a work of fine art.
One day, a traveler arrived with a secret so bold, A gem that would change their kingdom's gold. The traveler said, 'This gem can make wishes come true, But only if the King or Queen speaks words that are true.'
The Queen said, 'I'll try it first, I have nothing to hide.' She spoke words of truth, and the gem glowed with pride. The Queen made a wish, and it came true right away, Because honesty was the Queen's favorite way to play.
Now it was the King's turn, but he was feeling scared, For he had told a lie and didn't want to be snared. But the King knew that honesty was the right thing to do, So he confessed his lie, and the gem's power grew.
The gem granted the King's wish, despite his mistake, Because honesty, in the end, was the best path to take. With their hearts full of truth, the King and Queen led, A kingdom of honesty, where lies had no thread.
