    In the heart of a lush forest lived an honest fox named Mateo. He was known to always speak the truth, regardless of the circumstance.

    On the other hand, a wolf named García lived in the same forest. Unlike Mateo, García was known to lie for his own benefit, earning him a bad reputation among the animals.

    One day, the forest was hit by a storm and the brook overflowed. Mateo, with his bravery and honesty, warned everyone about the danger and helped them to safety.

    While Mateo was helping others, García saw an opportunity to take advantage. He lied about the severity of the situation to trick other animals and gain more food.

    After the storm, the forest was in chaos. Mateo, tired but determined, continued to guide the animals to safety. García, however, was busy hoarding food.

    The animals soon realized García's deceit. They saw how his lies only brought more confusion and chaos, while Mateo's honesty had saved many lives.

    In the following days, the forest slowly returned to normal. The animals started to clean up and rebuild their homes. Mateo's selfless actions were praised by all.

    García, on the other hand, was left with a pile of food but no friends. The animals had learned their lesson and kept their distance from the deceitful wolf.

    From then on, Mateo was respected and admired for his honesty. His actions had taught the animals the importance of truth and bravery in difficult times.

    García, meanwhile, was left to reflect on his actions. His lies had brought him nothing but loneliness and distrust. The animals no longer believed his words.

    The forest was peaceful once again. The animals lived harmoniously, guided by Mateo's wisdom. García's deceit was a grim reminder of the consequences of dishonesty.
