Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack. He loved playing with his cool gadgets!

Jack had a robot that helped him do his homework. It had shiny metal and bright lights.

One day, Jack's friend Lily came over to play. She saw Jack's robot and asked if she could borrow it.

Jack hesitated for a moment. He knew he shouldn't lend his robot without asking his parents first.

Jack told Lily, 'I can't lend it to you without my parents' permission. They might not be okay with it.'

Lily understood and appreciated Jack's honesty. She said, 'You're right, we should always ask before borrowing things.'

Jack and Lily played with other toys and had a great time. They realized that honesty was important in their friendship.

From that day on, Jack always made sure to be honest with his friends and himself.
