The mirror of Lies .

- Then suddenly, dark ropes appeared out of the mirror and wrapped around his arms and legs. Ravi fell to his knees.

- "I don't want to lie anymore! I want to change! Please let me go!"

R avi was a bright boy, but he had one bad habit - he lied too often.

He lied when he forgot homework, he lied when he broke something, and sometimes he lied just for fun. Everyone warned him, but Ravi never took it seriously.

One night, after telling a big lie to escape punishment, Ravi went to sleep.

In his dream, he found himself standing on a soft, glowing cloud. The sky was full of stars, and in front of him stood a tall golden gate. Suddenly, a gentle but powerful voice echoed:

"Ravi, welcome to the Hall of Truth."

A shining figure appeared. Ravi felt both scared and safe at the same time.

"Why am I here?" Ravi asked quietly.

The figure raised a hand, and a giant mirror made of light appeared.

"In this mirror," the voice said, "you will see the results of your lies."

One by one, scenes started showing:

Ravi's mother looking worried when he lied about studying.

His friend Rohan feeling hurt when Ravi lied about sharing his toy.

His teacher disappointed when he lied about homework.

With every scene, the sky grew darker.

Ravi felt his chest becoming heavy.

Then suddenly, dark ropes appeared out of the mirror and wrapped around his arms and legs. Ravi fell to his knees.

"What is this?!" he cried.

"These ropes are your lies," the guardian said.

"Each lie becomes a chain that binds you."

Ravi pulled and struggled, but the ropes only tightened. He felt helpless.

With tears in his eyes, he shouted,

"I don't want to lie anymore! I want to change! Please let me go!"

The ropes slowly melted away like smoke.

The dark sky turned bright again.

The Guardian smiled softly.

"Ravi, remember this lesson.

A lie may look small today, but tomorrow it becomes a prison.

Truth makes your life light and free."

Before Ravi could reply, everything faded.

He woke up with a jump. His heart was pounding.

He looked around his room, touched his arms - no ropes.

But the fear and lesson from the dream stayed in his mind.

From that day, Ravi made a promise to himself:

No more lies.

He started telling the truth at home, in school, and with his friends.

Slowly, people began trusting him again.

Ravi felt happy, proud, and free - just like in the bright sky of his dream.

Moral

Lies can trap you. Truth always sets you free.
