Why honesty matters: trust holds everything together, sentence 2

Trust is built from many true words and can be lost with one big lie; after that even the true words sound suspect, like the boy who cried wolf.

Who acts: true words, boy · What happens: build, lose, sound, cry · To what, where: Trust, many true words, wolf
