''-Honesty-''

When I was but a lad, 
my father and I were 
traveling from 
Trinsic. We came upon 
an old man and he did 
ask why we were 
upon the roads at such 
a late hour. I did 
whisper to my father 
that we best not tell 
him of our returning 
from Trinsic after a 
profitable sale of 
livestock and were 
carying with us much 
gold, But he did not 
heed my words, and 
told the man that we 
were returning home 
from such a large sale 
in Trinsic. 

The man 
was impressed so 
greatly by my fathers 
honest words, that he 
offered to escort  us to 
our home. When 
finally we did reach 
our destination, the 
man dropped the veil 
of magic that was 
upon him, and loe and 
behold twas Geoffry 
the captian of our Lord 
British's guard! He 
did tell us that since 
the departure of the 
Avatar he had wanted 
to see if the virtues 
were still in the 
hearts of the people of 
these lands and to 
such end he had an 
item of magical power 
that would tell of the 
honesty in a persons 
heart.  

He did also 
state that had my 
father told not the 
truth, he would not 
have traveled, forth 
with us keeping the 
bandits at bay.
So ends the tale of 
Honesty.


''-Compassion-''

When once I did live in 
Britian with my 
father, we did know 
of an old man whose 
good lady wife of 
many a year had 
passed on because of 
sickness from the 
plague. We did see one 
day that he sat upon 
his porch, and did see a 
small child walk up to 
him and sit upon his 
lap. The wee child did 
stay there all the day 
through.  

When later 
his father asked what 
he had said to the 
man, the child did 
say,"Nothing, I did but 
help him to cry"

So ends  the tale of 
Compassion
