Back hundreds of years ago there was this village. All the people were looking forward to this upcoming celebration and the towns folk were all asked to give one bottle of their best wine to fill a great community keg, that would be drank on the day of the celebration. One person decided that since the great container was so large that if he filled his bottle with water the dilution would be so small that no one would be able to tell the difference. He did this, emptying his bottle in to the large container. The day of the celebration quickly arrived and the great container was finally tapped. To everyone's amazement only water poured from the tap. Each person in the town had thought that they could get away with one bottle of water.
This story tells of a few lessons. The first and most important being that trust is the backbone of almost every situation. You have to be able to trust those around you and others have to have trust in you. Everything will fall apart without it. The next is that this is a big world but if you do not do your part even the slightest lie could become something of concern. Be fair...do not try to cheat others you will just be cheating yourself and those around you will be hurt.
