King David and King Solomon, sentence 4
For a child today this means: heroes can do wrong, an honest sorry is where change begins, a friend who tells you the truth is a gift, and wisdom has to be lived, not only known.
Who acts: this, heroes, change, friend, wisdom · What happens: mean, do, be, tell, have, live · To what, where: honest sorry, truth, you, gift · Speech: someone speaks here
