Truthfulness: Why honesty makes real heroes strong!

A new day dawned in the Neflental valley. The sun sent its first rays across the fern meadows and fresh spring air filled the valley. All the inhabitants of the Neflental were already on their feet. Rosa Periwinkle was also wandering cheerfully among the bright leaves. It was the day of the great fern festival and there was excitement everywhere.

Discover truthfulness in the Neflental

As Rosa Periwinkle trudged through the morning dew, she noticed that something was different. The colourful flags for the festival had disappeared! The periwinkles whispered excitedly, because the fern festival really needed these flags. After a short time, someone said that the flags had flown away in the wind. But Rosa Periwinkle had seen someone carrying the flags away in the fern forest last night. She knew she had to be honest now and ensure truthfulness in Neflental.

Rosa Periwinkle gathered her courage and reported what she had seen. It wasn't easy because the periwinkles are very friendly but sometimes quick to take offence. But because honesty makes everyone strong in Neflental, the others listened attentively. Suddenly, someone stepped hesitantly out of the fern forest. It was Flecki, a young periwinkle who was ashamed. Flecki admitted: "I only wanted to repair the flags secretly because I had accidentally torn them up."

What makes heroes in the Neflental?

In summer, when the fern festival began, the little flags were back. They fluttered colourfully over the heads of the forest dwellers. Everyone was proud of Flecki because he had admitted what he had done. Rosa Periwinkle was the first to encourage the others: "That was brave of you!" They all learnt that truthfulness brings true friendship. And because they were honest, the party got off to a happy start.

In autumn, the Periwinkles collected stories and sang around a fire while colourful leaves danced. Once again, Rosa Immergrün told everyone how important truthfulness is. She reminded the children that heroes in Neflental treat each other honestly. And the older people in the valley nodded in agreement. Now Flecki also knew: honesty makes you strong and brings everyone closer together.

Through the winter together - honesty connects

In winter, the fern forest went quiet. Snow covered the trees and meadows. Rosa Immergrün visited Flecki and brought hot soup, because winter in Neflental is cold. They chatted by the warm fire. Flecki said: "I always want to be honest, even when I'm scared." Rosa Periwinkle nodded. She knew that truthfulness makes heroes - even if the heart sometimes throbs. Everyone feels safe in Neflental because honesty counts.

What do we learn from this?

Truthfulness is important in Neflental. It builds trust and turns friends into a strong team. Because everyone is honest, they can master adventures together. Even if it is difficult to always tell the truth, this is exactly what makes real heroes strong. Everyone in Neflental knows that friendship and courage start with an honest word. And Rosa Immergrün, as a friend, shows that honesty is the real magic in the valley.
