Eighth Age boys had a lesson about honesty with the lovely Chinese legend called,
The Empty Pot. It is the story of an Emperor in China who needs to find a successor to his throne. In keeping with his love of beautiful flowers, he decides to give each child in his kingdom a seed, and a year later they were to return to show him their plant. Ping, a young boy, who also loved flowers was unable to get his seed to grow. Ping brings his empty pot to the Emperor and is the only child with an empty pot! It turns out that the seeds were boiled and none should have grown. So, Ping is picked as the successor---"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!"
