Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny loved to play pranks on his friends. But one day, he went too far and made a big mess.

Benny's friends were so mad that they took him to the forest court. The judge asked Benny to explain what happened and why he did it. Benny tried to blame it on someone else, but no one believed him.

In the end, Benny had to accept responsibility for his actions. The punishment was to clean up the whole mess. Benny felt ashamed and slumped down in his seat.

His mother scolded him and told him to fess up to what he did. Benny learned that it's better to be honest and take responsibility for your actions, instead of trying to blame others.

From that day on, Benny never played pranks again and always took blame for his actions. The end.
