Once upon a time, there lived a young girl named Esthesis who lived on a small farm in the countryside with her family. Esthesis was a curious girl and loved exploring the outdoors, where she would often find the most colorful flowers. On one of her adventures, she stumbled upon an old, abandoned house in the woods.

Esthesis was drawn to the house like a moth to a flame and she soon found herself standing in the doorway. As she stepped inside, her eyes feasted on the sight of the majestic beauty that was revealed to her. She had stumbled upon a treasure trove of beautiful artifacts and furniture that had clearly been preserved through the ages. Esthesis was enamored by the richness and grandeur of the house and she quickly moved through the many rooms, admiring the intricate paintings and crafted pieces of furniture.

Esthesis wandered through the rooms of the house, feeling that she had been transported back in time. As she made her way through the last room, she was stopped in her tracks by a beautiful painting that hung in the center of the wall. The painting depicted a woman in a field of wildflowers, which seemed to call out to Esthesis. She couldn’t quite explain the feeling that came over her when she looked at the painting, but she knew it was something special. She wanted to capture the beauty of the painting forever and so she decided to take it home with her.

Despite the warnings of her family and friends, Esthesis snuck the painting out of the house. She was determined to keep it hidden, so she stored it in her room and kept it a secret from everyone.

However, Esthesis soon learned that when you take something that isn’t yours, you must also take responsibility for it. One day, Esthesis’s family got a visit from a man claiming to own the property the abandoned house was on. He warned Esthesis and her family that he was searching for something that had been stolen from the property. Esthesis’s heart sank when she realized the man was talking about the painting she had taken.

In that moment, Esthesis knew that she had no choice but to tell the man the truth. She confessed to him and humbly returned the painting back to him. The man was surprised by Esthesis’s honesty, and although he was angry at first, he soon softened and praised her for doing the right thing even though it was difficult. Moved by her integrity, he decided to forgive her and even gave her a reward for being so truthful.

Esthesis learned an important lesson that day – that honesty is always the best policy. No matter the temptation or reward, it is more important to do what is right. Esthesis will always remember to be honest and never take what isn’t hers.
