The Boy Who Cried Lotto
There once was a president who was bored as he sat on his town watching the chatbox. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Lotto! Lotto! Lotto in ten seconds!!"
The players instantly put tons of tickets in. But when they check with /lot, they found it was still 5 minutes. The president laughed at the sight of their angry pms.
"Don't cry 'lotto', president," said the players, "when there's lotto!" They went grumbling away.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Lotto! Lotto! Lotto in ten seconds!" To his naughty delight, he watched the players buy tickets for a chance to win.
When the players saw how much time was left they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really a lotto! Don't cry lotto' when there is NO lotto!"
But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling away.
Later, he saw a REAL lotto in ten seconds. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Lotto! Lotto!"
But the players thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't buy.
Later, everyone wondered why the president was crying.
"There really was a lotto! I've lost my money! I cried out, Lotto!" Why didn't you buy?"
An mod tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village."It's just a lotto sheesh, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!
And he was banned for cursing. THE END

The Builder and the Farmer


A farmer had been hard at work all day, cutting down pumpkins to sell to the server. It was nearing sunset, but he wanted to cut down one last pumpkin before going home for the night. Coming across a sturdy farm that grew beside a town, he set to work. But he was so careless, that after a few hits, his ax slipped out of his hands and fell with a thunk into the town.

"How could I be so careless!" the farmer cried. "I'll never see my ax again!" And he stood by the town in despair.
Now, a builder happened to be nearby, and heard the farmer's lamentations. Quick as thought, the creature appeared before him and asked him what was wrong.
"I've lost my only ax in the water," the farmer groaned. "I can't afford to buy another, and now I can't pay off that loan and i'll get banned. What can I do?"
"Wait here," the builder replied, and he ran to the axe. When he came back to the farmer, he held in his hand an ax made of pure diamond with Efficency 10, Unbreaking 50.
"Is this the ax you lost?" the builder asked the woodcutter.
"No, that one isn't mine," the honest man answered.
The mermaid ran to the other side of the town and came up with a shining silver ax with Efficency 7, Unbreaking 25. "Then this one must be yours," he said.
"No, that one's not mine, either," sighed the farmer. "Mine was just a plain iron ax with no enchants."
For the third time the builder ran to the other side of the town, and this time he came up with an old, worn iron ax.
"That's the one!" cried the farme joyfully. “How can I ever thank you?"
"My friend," said the builder, "your honesty deserves a reward. Take all three axes home with you, and you won't be banned."
When the delighted farmer reached home, he told his friends what had happened. Now, the farmer had a friend who, when he heard the story, said to himself, "Why should my stupid "friend" have better luck than me? Tomorrow I'll try the same trick, and I'll come home wealthy too!"
The next day the farmer's friend went to the same town and threw his Efficency 5, Unb 3 axe into the water and called for the builder to help him. The builder appeared and, running to the other side of the town, brought back a Efficency 100 Unbreaking 100 ax. "Is this the one you lost?" he asked.
"That's the one!" the farmer’s friend cried.
But the builder took the diamond ax and ran away..
"For your dishonesty," he said, "you'll have no ax at all. "And then he vanished, leaving the farmer's friend poorer than ever.
Honesty is the best policy
P.S. 3 complaints were filed after this, and the farmer's friend was real annoyed. But he and everyone else moved on, because no one is going to refund you because you were a jerk to a builder.
