Once upon a time, there was a small town where people always dressed in the latest fashion. One day, the mayor was elected because he was well-dressed and had a clean-shaven face. People thought he would lead them well if he took care of his appearance. But as time went on, people realized that being clean-shaven and fashionable was not a necessity for being a good leader. It was their ideas and actions that truly mattered. The end.

Reflections

1. Why did people elect the mayor in the story?
2. What did people learn about being a good leader?
3. How does appearance relate to leadership?
4. Is it necessary to be fashionable to be a good leader? Why or why not?
