"Un menteur ne sera pas cru, même quand il dit la vérité"
— Aesop

Simplified Meaning:
If someone often tells lies, people won’t trust them, even if they later tell the truth. Imagine a boy who always falsely alarms his village about a wolf. When he finally sees a real wolf and warns everyone, nobody believes him, and the wolf causes trouble. This happens because the villagers are used to his lies and assume he’s lying again. To apply this to life, try to always be honest because building trust is important. If people trust you, they will believe you when it matters the most.
