During a class the teacher tells her students to say their favorite saying and explain why it is, and the one who does best goes to the break 10 minutes earlier, the excited students begin to remember that saying has been the best they have heard.
One of the students gets up and says: Master, my favorite saying is "shrimp that falls asleep, it gets carried away" because it says we should always be active. Another student got up and said: Master of mine is "Cría fama y acuéstate a dormir" because it represents the importance of our actions. Finally, Rosa gets up and says: Master, mine is "If you're going to lie, let it be brief" since a lie can question thousands of truths, lying can cause great irreparable tragedies, nothing better than being honest.
All the students applauded Rosa's intervention and that day they began to think about the consequences before lying.
