12
00:01:06,115 --> 00:01:11,175
This story happened to me when I was a boy.

13
00:01:12,801 --> 00:01:17,363
One morning I, as usual, didn't want to get up

14
00:01:17,763 --> 00:01:20,565
and I said that I'm sleeping.

15
00:01:20,965 --> 00:01:22,443
Sleeping, honestly!

16
00:01:23,288 --> 00:01:25,749
But mom didn't believe it for some reason.

17
00:01:26,453 --> 00:01:28,886
So I had to get up.

18
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,309
Mom asked, "Why did you break it?"

19
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:45,103
I said, "It broke on its own! Honestly!"

20
00:01:45,303 --> 00:01:48,780
She didn't believe it again.
I was a little hurt.

21
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,351
Of course I lied.

22
00:01:50,551 --> 00:01:52,900
Yeah, sometimes I lied.

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,565
But I didn't see anything
wrong with it then.

24
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,054
Every morning I had to make the bed

25
00:02:03,254 --> 00:02:07,784
and wash my face and brush my teeth and all that!

26
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:11,738
But there was mom again,

27
00:02:11,938 --> 00:02:13,623
"Did you brush your teeth?"

28
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,851
And I'm like, "I'm brushing!"

29
00:02:23,003 --> 00:02:26,000
"Did you wash your ears?"
"I'm washing!"

30
00:02:29,104 --> 00:02:30,583
"What's taking so long?"

31
00:02:31,506 --> 00:02:36,525
Don't you know? Brushing teeth
takes so much time!

32
00:02:36,725 --> 00:02:38,686
And then washing your hands,

33
00:02:38,886 --> 00:02:40,903
and your face, and your neck,

34
00:02:41,103 --> 00:02:43,950
and I also want to wash my feet!

35
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,372
I just wanted to wash my feet, honestly!

36
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,117
My mom often cooked porridge for breakfast.

37
00:02:56,565 --> 00:02:58,804
Boy, I miss that porridge.

38
00:02:59,243 --> 00:03:01,655
But back then, I hated it,

39
00:03:01,855 --> 00:03:03,387
so I lied again:

40
00:03:03,487 --> 00:03:06,214
said that I'd already eaten
and ran outside.

41
00:03:06,593 --> 00:03:09,903
And of course, promised not to
step a foot outside the yard.

42
00:04:19,446 --> 00:04:22,000
That's when it all started.

43
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:08,247
Suddenly, an oddly dressed
stranger stopped me

44
00:05:08,447 --> 00:05:10,154
and called me by name.

45
00:05:10,454 --> 00:05:13,303
I'm like,
"How do you know my name?"

46
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,809
"Oh, I know everything about you."

47
00:05:17,406 --> 00:05:20,588
"Everything except where
you ripped your pants."

48
00:05:21,442 --> 00:05:23,383
And I started to talk nonsense.

49
00:05:23,583 --> 00:05:25,768
Said that a certain boy ripped my pants,

50
00:05:25,968 --> 00:05:30,232
and that I'm going to the store for sugar,
and that my mom asked me to do it,

51
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,547
and, as usual, added "honestly!"

52
00:05:33,074 --> 00:05:36,324
Then he offered to drive me to the store.

53
00:05:45,699 --> 00:05:49,464
Lucky me, I thought.
Riding like a prince!

54
00:05:49,864 --> 00:05:54,261
Pity that the neighborhood boys
don't see me. They'd be green with envy.

55
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
I look — we're out of town.

56
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,650
"Where are we going, mister?" I ask.

57
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:27,163
"Don't you know?" he answers,
"to get sugar."

58
00:06:27,363 --> 00:06:30,395
"How much further?" I ask again.

59
00:06:30,595 --> 00:06:33,800
And he's like,
"We'll be there soon. Honestly."

60
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,000
"Before you can count to three."

61
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,597
"One, two, three..."
I counted,

62
00:06:38,797 --> 00:06:40,845
but we didn't arrive anywhere.

63
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:45,749
I guess he's lying to me, I thought.

64
00:07:23,006 --> 00:07:25,609
"Where are we?" I ask.

65
00:07:26,115 --> 00:07:29,468
"At the store, to buy sugar," he answers.

66
00:07:30,165 --> 00:07:33,109
"I don't need sugar," I say,
"I lied to you!"

67
00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:36,125
And he's like, "I lied to you, too."

68
00:07:36,425 --> 00:07:39,154
"Welcome to the royal castle."

69
00:07:48,432 --> 00:07:52,370
"Wait here," he said, and disappeared.

70
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:06,518
King the First

71
00:08:07,309 --> 00:08:09,556
King the Second

72
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:12,122
King the Third

73
00:08:12,322 --> 00:08:14,985
King the Fourth

74
00:08:15,185 --> 00:08:17,587
King the Last

75
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:55,784
Cuckoo!

76
00:08:57,832 --> 00:09:01,134
What a weird castle, I thought.

77
00:09:01,765 --> 00:09:03,922
The stranger appeared again.

78
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,948
"No, no, no," he says.

79
00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:13,346
"You can't appear before the king
looking like this."

80
00:09:13,546 --> 00:09:16,000
"Torn pants, dirty sleeve."

81
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:19,038
"Now that's better!"

82
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,441
"Aha!" the king chuckled.

83
00:09:42,641 --> 00:09:44,736
"There's another honest man!"

84
00:09:44,836 --> 00:09:49,237
"Of course I'm honest." I was a little hurt.
"Why? I never lie."

85
00:09:49,337 --> 00:09:51,340
And they're like,
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee."

86
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,455
"We tell only the truth, too!
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!"

87
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:57,384
"Not a single word of lie!
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!"

88
00:09:57,584 --> 00:10:00,500
"How do you like our crystal chandelier?"

89
00:10:03,661 --> 00:10:07,383
"You lie!" I say.
"That's just balloons!"

90
00:10:08,173 --> 00:10:10,261
"Know why ya think we're lying?"

91
00:10:10,461 --> 00:10:12,641
"Cause you have but one ear."

92
00:10:13,150 --> 00:10:16,069
What?! — No, both are in place.

93
00:10:16,269 --> 00:10:19,662
They're like,
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! Fooled you!"

94
00:10:20,605 --> 00:10:25,345
I'm thinking: "Why take offense at jokes?"
So I didn't get offended.

95
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:31,371
The king says: "Rest from your journey
on the soft armchair."

96
00:10:31,671 --> 00:10:34,388
I took a running leap and —
Whack!

97
00:10:34,588 --> 00:10:37,742
And that annoying "Hee-hee-hee",
"Ha-ha-ha" again.

98
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,219
"That's it," I thought. "Enough.
One more thing like that and —"

99
00:10:42,319 --> 00:10:43,689
And suddenly —

100
00:10:43,989 --> 00:10:46,693
"His Majesty King the Last

101
00:10:46,793 --> 00:10:49,854
grants you ice cream
for your honesty."

102
00:10:52,784 --> 00:10:56,021
Ah... ice cream...

103
00:10:57,176 --> 00:11:01,500
Ah... sure, I'd forgive anything for it.

104
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:21,565
They're like,
"Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!"

105
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:24,395
And that guy pretends he knows nothing.

106
00:11:29,733 --> 00:11:32,820
I got fed up and asked him:

107
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400
"When will you drive me home?"

108
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,975
"Do a cartwheel," he says,

109
00:11:40,175 --> 00:11:43,343
"and you'll be home at once. Honestly."

110
00:11:43,655 --> 00:11:45,602
"It's a magical castle, you know."

111
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,897
And then His Majesty King the Last
announced:

112
00:12:32,507 --> 00:12:35,862
"We'll have visitors from
faraway lands today."

113
00:12:36,621 --> 00:12:42,165
"We should welcome them solemnly
and show them our splendid castle."

114
00:12:57,772 --> 00:12:59,232
Cuckoo!

115
00:13:17,374 --> 00:13:19,712
King the Last

116
00:13:25,005 --> 00:13:26,848
Don't they see anything wrong?

117
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,101
"Simpletons," I thought.

118
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:35,481
And the king's like, "Yes, yes!"

119
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:39,000
"There's no castle as splendacious as ours,

120
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:43,504
and no king as humble, sincere
and honest as I am!"

121
00:13:43,704 --> 00:13:48,191
"Dear guests, would you like
to relax on the sofa from your journey?"

122
00:13:56,393 --> 00:13:58,636
I couldn't take this lying anymore.

123
00:13:59,034 --> 00:14:01,178
"Don't sit on this sofa!"

124
00:14:01,478 --> 00:14:05,000
"If you do, it'll burst and you'll fall!"

125
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,020
"Everything is fake here!
Even the ice cream is fake!"

126
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:12,217
"It's a castle of liars,
frauds and deceivers!"

127
00:14:13,510 --> 00:14:16,336
"Please, I beg you, take me home!"

128
00:14:16,536 --> 00:14:18,798
"I don't want to stay here any longer."

129
00:14:38,662 --> 00:14:41,224
They told me: "Here's your home!"

130
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,038
I greeted the driver
and asked him to drive me home.

131
00:15:20,050 --> 00:15:22,238
He looked at me from heel to head.

132
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,546
"This is... this is the school uniform!"
I lied.

133
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,216
The driver said nothing and left.
It got me thinking...

134
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:38,599
Suddenly, I understood everything.

135
00:15:39,150 --> 00:15:42,350
And you know, since then I never lie.

136
00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:44,538
Honestly!

137
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,000
The End
