Description: A warm work of children's fiction that teaches us that forgiveness and love can be a greater lesson than sharp scolding. Seol-i, who loves to tell stories just as her name suggests, ends up telling a lie about her grandmother during class. The lie—that her grandmother used to be a singer—leads to another lie, and soon the lies snowball out of control. Because of Seol-i's lies, her grandmother ends up being invited to a talent show, and has to sing not only at school but also at the senior center and even a broadcasting station. All of Seol-i's lies suddenly become real. But on the day of the broadcast, Seol-i's lie is revealed to the whole nation.
