Consequences of Certain Actions

When I was younger, one of my favorite stories to have read to me over and over was the infamous, Tell The Truth Tyler by JoDee McConnaughhay. The book, as given from the title, taught me to always tell the truth and if I do not, I will run into consequences.
In the book, the dad confronts Tyler,
"'Why didn't you tell me the truth?' Dad asked, gently wiping the chocolate from Tyler's nose.
'I was afraid to,' Tyler said."
I learned that when you do not tell the truth, you will get confronted.
Another part in the book, the dad tells Tyler why the truth is always important.
"'You know,' Dad said, 'it's not always easy to tell the truth. But God says it's the right thing to do. The Bible says 'Stop telling lies. Tell each other the truth. ' Even if it's hard to do, speak up and tell the truth."
In this part of the book, the dad teaches Tyler that no matter what, lies are worse than the truth. The truth is valued and you should always tell the truth because God says it's the right thing to do.
Stories teach us the consequences of our actions and I learned from Tell the Truth Tyler to always tell the truth. With the truth, we will never run into unwanted consequences.
