A king once ordered that a prisoner be killed. When the prisoner knew he was about to die, he became very upset. He shouted angry words in his own language, which the king did not understand. The king asked his helpers,“What is that man saying?” One kind and wise helper said, “He is saying that good people stay calm and forgive.” When the king heard this, his anger went away. He chose to forgive the prisoner and let him live. But another helper said, “That is not true! The prisoner was insulting you and saying bad things.” The king replied, “I like the kind lie better than the cruel truth. The lie saved a life, but the truth would have led to a death.”
