One day, Honest was thrown into the sea by Intelligent. Honest went all out swimming to land. Finally, he arrived on a desolate island. Honest lay down for a rest on the beach. He hoped that a boat would rescue him.
Suddenly, Honest heard relaxing music from a distant place. He stood up immediately. Honest saw a boat sailing toward him. The boat carried a flag and it had the word “Happy” on it. It was originally a Happy Boat.
Honest yelled, “Happy! Happy! I am Honest. Can I take your boat to go back to my home?”
Happy said, “No! No! If I have an honest, I will lose happy. If you look around, you will see many people to tell the truth and this causes them to lose happy. Sorry! I can not do anything to help.”
After a while, Honest saw a Status Boat come by there. Honest yelled, “Status! I am Honest. I want to take your boat to go home, can you help me?”
Status heard that, he rowed his boat immediately and kept a suitable distance from Honest. Status turned his head to said, “Honest! You can not take my boat because it is difficult to obtain my status. If I have an honest, I would get bad luck and I would not be able to keep my status for very long.”

Honest did not want to tell him his name. He was worried that if he told him his name, Competition would not to take notice of him. But Honest was an honest man after all.

Honest felt despair. Suddenly, he heard a gentle sound from the distant place. Honest saw a white haired old man in a boat. He arrived in front of Hones.
The old man said, “I am a Time Old Man. Let’s go in my boat.”
Honest asked him, “Why you want to help me?” The Time Old Man smiled and said, “Only has the time knows that the honest is most important.”
When Time Old Man and Honest return on the shore, they saw the Happy, Status, and Competition. Their boats were all turned over.
Time Old Man told to them, “Without the Honest, Happy can not be kept for a long time. Status is false and Competition fails, too.”
