Honesty makes you brave: Why the truth is really cool!

A new task in the Neflental

In the Neflental, there's always something exciting to experience. One morning, Rosa Immergrün woke up and felt that today would be a special day. The sun bathed the fern meadows in golden light, and mist hovered like a veil over the trees.

The Lost Gem

On the shore of the Crystal Lake, someone was running around excitedly. It was Lian, the little water gnome. He had lost a mysterious gemstone belonging to his uncle. The stone was very valuable and absolutely had to be found. Rosa Immergrün heard Lian's loud calls and immediately ran to him.

„I'll help you, Lian!“, said Rosa Evergreen determinedly. The two searched everywhere. They looked under the large leaves, carefully dived into the lake, and even rummaged in the tall fern.

A significant moment for Rosa Immergrün

After a while, they saw a colourful gleam at the edge of the meadow. Rosa Immergrün's heart was beating wildly. Between two stones lay the lost gemstone. But next to the stone also lay a beautiful, glowing feather. Rosa Immergrün liked it immediately. Nobody else was nearby. Rosa Immergrün knew she had to make a decision now.

Should Rosa Immergrün secretly pocket the feather? Or should she also bring the feather to Lian so that everyone knows what she has found?

Being Brave in the Neflental

Rosa Immergrün remembered what the white elves always say: honesty makes you brave. She took a deep breath, picked up the gemstone and the feather, and ran back to Lian.

„Look, Lian, not only have I found your gem. Right next to it was this feather too. Do you know whose it is?“

Lian beamed. He was happy to get his gem back. The feather belonged to the white elves. It had special powers and must not be lost. Lian thanked Rosa Everbloom warmly. So the two of them walked together to the waterfall and handed the feather over to the white elves.

Why honesty is really cool in the Neflental

The white elves praised Pink Periwinkle for her honesty. They explained that it sometimes takes courage to tell the truth. But through honesty, trust and friendship grow. The elves said: „Whoever is honest and hides nothing is a true role model for all the inhabitants of the Neflental!“ Pink Periwinkle felt brave and happy. She had shown that she could act honestly – and that was really cool!

In the end, Rosa Immergrün and Lian sat by the lake. They told the others about their adventure. Everyone in Neflental listened attentively. Thus, everyone learned: honesty makes you brave, and telling the truth feels good.

What do we learn from this?

In the Neflental, everyone now knows that you are truly strong through honesty. Being open helps everyone. This is how courage grows in the heart. And once you speak the truth, you are recognised and become a role model for friends. Honesty really makes you brave!
