The River of Truth

Lying is often characterized as selfish behavior. However, it had become a habit for three youngsters. They believed lying was necessary, and they were unconcerned about the feelings of others.

The three popular students-Cindy, Anwar, and Seth, didn't know the meaning of honesty, and they were notorious for bullying other students.

They had been great friends since childhood, and they came from wealthy families.

Their teachers grew tired of their habitual lying and constant troublemaking. The situation had deteriorated to the point of being intolerable. With their parents' permission, the school administration decided to send them to community service so they could learn from their mistakes.

Unbeknownst to everyone, another lie was crafted as a way for them to escape-until they swam in an unknown, enchanted river, where whatever they said turned out to be true.

Would they lie again?
Or would they swear never to lie?
