He thought to himself that this ring could make him rich. And he and his family no longer had to worry about having enough food to eat. After thinking about what to do all the day, Paul decided to return the ring to the King.
Paul went to the palace and returned the King’s ring. The King was very thankful to Paul and said to him, “Son, this is my favorite ring! You are a very honest boy and I want to reward you with lots and lots of gold coins!” When Paul’s parents got to know about his honesty, they became very happy.
When Paul came home, his parents hugged him. From that day, Paul was a very rich boy and his family never went hungry again. You may also like to read, The Honest Woodcutter.
