As per an old Irish saying ..
"Three apples fell from the tree. One for he who tells the story, one for he who reads and or listens to the story and one for he who understands."
You will have one apple when you read this .....I hope you receive at least two if not all three!!!

A merchant on a casual jaunt through a market, came across a fine specimen of a camel 🐫 for sale.
The merchant and the camel 🐪 seller, both skilled negotiators, struck a hard bargain and both were immensely pleased with their part of the bargain ...
The camel seller pleased with his skill of worming out what he felt was a very good price, parted with his camel and the merchant chuffed that he had struck a fantastic bargain, proudly walked home with the latest addition to his large livestock.
On arriving home, the merchant called his servant to come and help him take out the camel's saddle.
The unwieldy heavily padded saddle was too difficult for the servant to manage on his own but he somehow managed..

#TheVelvetPouch
Hidden under the saddle, the servant found a small velvet pouch which on opening he discovered to be filled with precious jewels!!
The servant was overexcited !!
“Master you bought a camel.....but see what came FREE along with it!!!"

#TheJewels
The merchant was astonished as he looked at the jewels in his servants' palm. They were of extraordinary quality sparkling and twinkling in the sunlight.
"I bought the camel" he said, "not the jewels. I must return them to the camel seller immediately."

The servant was aghast.....his master was really foolish. "Master.....no one will know."
But the #merchant headed right back to the market and handed over the velvet pouch back to the camel seller.

The camel seller was very happy, " I had forgotten that I hid these jewels in the saddle for safe keeping."
"Here, choose one of the jewels for yourself, as a reward."
The merchant said "I paid a fair price for the camel & the camel only,so NO thank you, I don’t need any reward."

The merchant said "I paid a fair price for the camel & the camel only,so NO thank you, I don’t need any reward."
But as much as the merchant refused, the camel seller insisted.
Finally the merchant said, sheepishly smiling, " Actually when I decided to bring the pouch back to you, I already took two of the most precious jewels and kept them for myself”.

At this confession the camel seller was a bit flabbergasted & quickly emptied the pouch to count the jewelsHowever he was very confused.
“All my jewels are here. What jewels did you keep?

How would you explain integrity to a young child?
Roger Jenkins explained it as "The ability to do the right thing or choosing to do the right thing when you could get away with doing the wrong thing”
Thanks for reading. Please share this story if you received 2 apples!!!
