She rewarded Tom not with money but with a warm hug and told his story to the local newspaper. Tom became well - known in the town for his honesty.

Well, in the world of politics, there are often situations. Take diplomatic negotiations. A country might not be completely honest about its real bottom - line in the beginning. If they were, the other side could take advantage of that and push for more extreme demands.

This shows that honesty may not always be the best policy in such complex international relations.
