Samy the centipede was charismatic and helpful with everyone in the garden, but she had a small defect: she told lies. For that reason, not everyone believed the things she said.
– Did you know that I once visited an enchanted forest full of fairies? – Samy asked the butterfly.
– That can't be true, Samy. Your mother said you never left the garden - replied the butterfly.
It was no use: even though everyone knew the truth, Samy kept telling lies.
One day, a wise bird told Samy that if she kept telling lies, colored balls would appear all over her body. The centipede didn't believe it, but as soon as she lied, a green ball appeared on her head. Still, Samy kept lying and at the end of the day, his body was colorful.
Samy didn't like looking like a rainbow and regretted having told so many lies. The colored balls disappeared after a few days, Samy started to speak only the truth.
