Tell a parable or fable (includes animals), a story with a moral. Feel free to use existing parables or fables as a base.
"Once there was a dwarf who saw a dryad dancing in the moonlight and became enchanted by her beauty. She was so beautiful that, despite the difference of their races, he fell in love with her and wished to marry her. The dryad laughed at his affections, for he was not beautiful to look at, and his manners were as rough as the stone from which he was born. However, so as not to deny him outright, she said she would marry him if only he could give her the moon. And to rule out any clever fabrications, she said it must still be able to wax and wane: and she laughed him to scorn.
"Now, this dwarf, though gruff and ugly, was very skilled in his craft, and by his cunning he caught the light of the moon in a clear gem, which is called a moonstone. And behold! the light within it waxed and waned, as did the moon above. He set the gem in a ring and presented it to the dryad, who now bound by her promise had to marry him. And so, because of her foolishness, the dryad spent the rest of her life miserably bound to one whom she did not love."
Susan finished reading and looked up at Lucy, who seemed to be thinking very hard. "Well?" she prompted, after a long silence. "Guess the moral, Lu; it's the game."
Lucy sighed. "I can't pick which. It seems to be two at once."
"Oh?"
"Don't make foolish promises lightly, and don't say one thing and mean another."
Susan nodded slowly. "It says in the book: don't make promises you can't keep. But I think you summed it up better. I'll give it to you."
Lucy let out a happy breath, watching as Susan marked the score. "That's four for me," she crowed, "which makes me only two behind. I'll catch you yet!"
"We'll see," Susan smiled, and bent her head over the book again.
