It's Hard to Be a Liar - Exciting Books 32

A warm creative fairy tale that teaches us that forgiveness and love are greater punishments and lessons than harsh advice. Seol, who likes to talk as his name suggests, ends up telling a lie about his grandmother in class. The lie that her grandmother used to be a singer gives birth to another lie, and the successive lies grow to the point where Seol can't control it. 

Because of Seol's lie, the grandmother is invited to a talent show and goes to a school, a senior center, and even a broadcasting station to sing. All the lies have become reality. However, on the day of the broadcast, Seol's lies become known nationwide. Seol, who has been teased by his friends as a liar, turns the blame on his grandmother...

When the grandmother's song ended, the entire classroom erupted in applause. I'm so happy, but I don't know why my nose feels stuffy and my eyes get watery. -From page 73 of the text
