Moral stories in english - The Little Star That Never Lied

The Little Star That Never Lied

Far above the Earth, in the quiet and endless sky, lived a little star named Luma. Luma was the youngest star in the sky. She wasn’t as big or as bright as the other stars, but she had a special glow in her heart. What made Luma truly different was that she never lied — not even once.

While the older stars often joked or made up stories to seem more interesting, Luma always told the truth. Even when it was hard. Some stars laughed at her honesty.

“Luma, why don’t you just pretend to be brighter?” asked Vega, a bold and shiny star. “If you say you are the brightest, maybe others will believe it.”

But Luma replied softly, “I may not be the brightest, but I shine with truth. And that is enough for me.”

The other stars rolled their eyes and went back to playing games, teasing comets, and telling silly tales to the moon. Luma, though small, watched the world below. Every night, she gently blinked over a village called Starvale.

In that village lived a boy named Rohan. Rohan was smart, curious, and full of dreams. But like many children, Rohan sometimes found it hard to tell the truth. If he broke a vase, he would blame the wind. If he didn’t do his homework, he’d say the dog ate it. His parents often warned him gently, “Rohan, lying may seem easy now, but it causes big troubles later.”

One evening, Rohan stood outside, staring at the stars. He had just told a big lie at school — he claimed he had seen a dragon in the forest to impress his friends. The whole class got excited, and some even planned to go look for the dragon.

Rohan felt strange. His heart was heavy, and he wasn’t proud. As he looked up at the sky, one tiny star blinked at him — gently, warmly.

That star was Luma.

Rohan whispered, “I wish I could always tell the truth like you, little star. But it’s so hard.”

To his surprise, the star twinkled even more. Then something magical happened. A soft voice, like the sound of wind and bells, echoed in his ears.

“Truth is not always easy,” the voice said. “But it is always right.”

Rohan looked around, wide-eyed. “Who said that?”

“I did,” said the voice. “I’m Luma, the little star who never lies.”

Rohan gasped. “You… can talk?”

“Only to those who are ready to listen,” Luma said kindly. “Why do you lie, Rohan?”

Rohan looked down. “Sometimes I want to feel important… or avoid trouble.”

“I understand,” said Luma gently. “But lies are like shadows. They grow longer and darker until they block your own light. Truth may feel small at first, but it always shines bright in the end.”

Rohan nodded slowly. “What should I do now?”

“Be brave,” said Luma. “Tell the truth. Say sorry when needed. The truth is like a star — even the smallest one can guide someone in the dark.”

The next day, Rohan stood up in class and told everyone the truth. “I made up the story about the dragon. I just wanted to impress you all. I’m sorry.”

Some kids looked surprised. A few laughed. But his teacher smiled warmly and said, “That was a brave thing to do, Rohan. Telling the truth takes courage.”

From that day, Rohan made a promise to be honest, just like Luma. It wasn’t always easy. Sometimes he still felt tempted to lie. But he remembered the little star’s words.

Far above, Luma watched from the sky, glowing a little brighter every time Rohan chose truth. And slowly, other stars began to notice her light. They stopped laughing and started listening.

“Maybe we were wrong,” said Vega. “Maybe honesty really is the brightest light.”

And so, Luma, the little star who never lied, became a guide not just for Rohan, but for everyone who looked up and needed the courage to tell the truth.

Moral of the Story

Telling the truth may be hard, but it is the right thing to do. Honesty shines brighter than any lie ever could.
