Honest ladybirds A strange legend has it that ladybirds forgive but don't forget. Apparently,at first they didn't have their typical black spots. The ladybirds had been pushed to the edge of extinction because their famous guide disappeared into the flood,and the few ladybirds who survived had to choose a new guide. They decided that their new guide would be the first ladybird to successfully travel south to the Great Lake and return to describe it.
Many young ladybirds eagerly launched themselves into this adventure. One by one they returned and told of how beautiful the southern lake was. However,the last of the ladybirds was late in getting back. When he finally returned,he was sad and embarrassed. He hadn't managed to reach the lake.
Following their new guide,they spent a morning walking northwards until they reached some tall thick grassland,where they stopped,astonished. In front of them was the Great Lake!But it was not beautiful. The heavy rain had turned it into a huge green pool surrounded by mud.
Everyone understood what had happened. Without realizing it,they had been swept beyond the lake by the flood. When the ladybirds had gone out loo?king for the lake,they had gone in the wrong direction. Now they could see that,apart from that one late ladybird,they had all lied to get what they wanted.
And so,the late little ladybird,the only one who they now really trusted,was made the Great Guide. They also decided that every time one of them was discovered lying,they would paint a black spot on that ladybird's back,and there'd be no way to erase it. From then on,when a ladybird looks at another's back,it can tell whether that ladybird is trustworthy.
Likewise,when people show themselves to be dishonest other people paint spots on their impressions of them.
