Grandpa Clay's grandson, Dusty, pockets a toy from a local store, evades the alarm bell, and then gets entangled in a web of lies to conceal his deed from his friends and parents. Already becoming bothered by his conscience, he is visited in the night by TerraCuddle Belle, who rings her tiny bell and speaks to Dusty:

True Life Stories?

Sometimes being truthful and living with positive values has its serious difficulties. We see others getting ahead and feel left behind. But life is more like a marathon than a sprint. Those who run fast beyond their abilitites may take a quick lead, but will soon run out of energy and fail. Conditioning, training, and a steady pace makes for a pleasant and winning race all the way to the end, where it really counts. Begin with the end in mind.
