Integrity

Embarrassed that his history project -- a reproduction of a relic that his father brought back from a trip to Egypt -- is too lame, Zach tells his class that the relic is real. When his teacher asks permission to display the ancient relic in the History Fair, Zach’s “harmless” embellishment is in danger of becoming a major school-wide deception. Concerned that this would harm Zach’s integrity, Plato tells a wise and well-known tale about a boy whose lies get the better of him.
