Lying Fatima

"Lying Fatima" by Dimitri Gilles is an engaging and thought-provoking story set in a small village. The tale revolves around a young girl named Fatima who has a habit of telling white lies to make others feel good. However, Fatima starts experiencing a heartache whenever she lies. She confides in a wise old man who advises her to focus on positive points without lying.

Although initially confused, Fatima later understands the old man's advice when she tactfully consoles her upset friend by complimenting her self-esteem, avoiding both lying and hurting her feelings. From that day forward, Fatima adopts this approach, using honesty and kindness instead of resorting to false assurances.

The heartache disappears, and Fatima grows up to be a trusted and beloved figure in her village. Her transformation from a well-intentioned fibber to a beacon of truth and kindness makes this story a compelling read. It conveys a powerful message about the value of honesty and the potential to express truth in ways that can uplift others.
