Honesty Is Still The Best Policy

Once a manager wanted to test his people who had come from all over India, about their values of life.
He announced that in their seminar folder, there is PVC pouch and in it there is a seed. When they return they must put it in a good soil in a pot and look after it very well.
He would hold a competition in the next year's seminar and that the best plants would be awarded suitably.
Everyone did what was told to him. A year passed and next year in a big hall, there were hundreds of pots and a great variety of plants-a great scene.
Except one pot in which the soil was there and no plantThe owner was standing quietly and seemingly ashamed of himself
The general manager called him on the stage. He asked him what happened and he told him the truth. He planted the seed which he was given and did that was to be done- but nothing happened
The general manager declared him the winner
Everyone was shocked. It was announced, Gentlemen The seeds I gave you were boiled seeds. You planted them and nothing happened! You acted smartly and used some other seeds.
This man was honest to his work and, therefore he did not cheat me or himself.
