One day, Timmy accidentally broke a vase in the living room. But instead of admitting his mistake, he told his mom that it was Tommy who did it.

Tommy knew that his mom would be disappointed in him if she thought he broke the vase, but he also knew that telling the truth was important. So he bravely said, 'Mom, it wasn't me. Timmy is telling a lie.'
