    Once upon a time, in a small town lived a mischievous boy named Johnny. He had twinkling eyes and a contagious laugh that spread joy wherever he went. He was known for his love for sugar and his knack for telling tall tales.

    One day, Johnny's father caught him red-handed with his hand in the sugar jar. "Johnny, Johnny," he called out, "Are you eating sugar?" To this, Johnny replied with a quick, "No, Papa!"

    His father, known for his stern but fair nature, asked again, "Telling lies?" Johnny, with a sheepish grin, responded once again, "No, Papa!"

    A few days later, Johnny was found with a spoon in his hand and a guilty look on his face. "Johnny, Johnny," Papa called out again, "Are you eating silverware?" Johnny quickly replied, "No, Papa!"

    "Telling lies?" Papa asked, with a raised eyebrow. Johnny, trying to hide his guilt, said, "No, Papa!" Papa said, "Open your mouth." Inside, Papa found a tiny spoon. They both erupted in laughter.

    Johnny continued with his antics, this time involving their pet pig, Porky. "Johnny, Johnny," Papa called out, "Are you eating pigs?" Johnny, with a mouthful of apple slices, replied, "No, Papa!"

    "Telling lies?" Papa asked. Johnny, with apple crumbs falling from his mouth, said, "No, Papa!" Papa ordered, "Open your mouth," and they found apple slices, not Porky. Again, they both laughed.

    Despite the laughter and fun, Papa knew he needed to teach Johnny a lesson about honesty. So, he decided to turn the tables on Johnny the next time he was caught in a mischievous act.

    Papa sat Johnny down and explained that while it's fun to play and joke, it's also important to be honest. "When we tell lies, Johnny," Papa said, "it becomes hard for people to trust us."
