But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the letter—so she lost the contest.

As the girl walked off the , the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her . Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty, even when it her the contest. But the fact is that she the biggest contest that day: the contest of her .

But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong.
