I enjoyed reading this story because the message within the story is important for children to know. The story is all about honesty, the child in the story is rewarded because he is honest to the Emperor. This is a great example to show children a different culture of traditional literature.
This is a Chinese folk-tale about a boy named Ping who loved flowers. The Emperor of China was getting old and needed to pick a new Emperor and decided to let the flowers choose. Ping goes to tell the Emperor the seed did not grow after he tried to grow but it did not. The Emperor tried to trick Ping with bad seeds, but Ping was the only honest child so the Emperor gave Ping the Entire kingdom.
This story has a great message of being honest and doing the right thing, even though it may feel embarrassing or hard to do.
This is a Chinese folktale about a boy who is trying to plant flowers. The emperor needs someone to take over, so he gave out seeds to see who could grow the best flower and that hold be the new emitter. The boy tried many different ways to get his flower to grow but could not. Everyone brought flowers but he brought an empty pot. It turns out the seeds were no good and he was the only honest one so he got chosen.
“I admire Ping's great courage to appear before me with the empty truth, and now I reward him with my entire kingdom and make him Emperor of all the land!“
This tale can teach children to always do the right thing, even when things are not in your favor. Who knows, you might just be surprised....
