Little Mountain and the Sky

Once upon a time, there was a little mountain.

Little Mountain loved looking up at the sky.

Every day, Little Mountain would dream of touching the sky.

But no matter how hard Little Mountain tried, it couldn't reach the sky.

One day, Little Mountain met a wise old tree.

The tree said, 'If you want to touch the sky, you must be honest.'
