One day, Edwurd tells a massive lie, claiming he was accountable for the mess in your house when in reality, it was his pet pig. This lie develops into a horrid, monstrous, three-toed beast that ends up being unmanageable. The fib beast is so big that it causes chaos not simply in their town, but quickly enough in the entire world. Amongst the chaos, Edwurd declines to confess he was lying since he hesitates of penalty.
ResolutionFannie, understanding the scale of the damage caused by Edwurd's lie, encourages him to say sorry and admit the fact to everyone.
