Most of the time it is. In relationships, whether it's personal or professional, truth is the foundation. However, there might be some extreme cases. For example, in a situation where the truth might cause unnecessary harm immediately. But even in such cases, it's better to find a way to tell the truth gently in the long run. Because lies tend to snowball and create more problems later.
Sure. In a workplace, if you make a mistake and tell the truth about it, your boss may appreciate your honesty and be more likely to help you fix it rather than if you lie about it and get caught later. Another example is in friendships. If you don't like something your friend did, telling the truth in a kind way can strengthen the friendship as you work through the issue.
One way is to double - check the information. If you're not sure about a detail in the story, don't include it until you've verified it. Also, avoid exaggerating.

It means always being honest and narrating a story based on facts. For example, when you are sharing an experience or a tale, you don't make up false details.
One such moral story is about a young boy named George. George had a hatchet and accidentally cut down his father's favorite cherry tree. When his father asked who did it, George told the truth even though he knew he would be punished. The significance is that it shows honesty is more important than avoiding punishment. Telling the truth builds trust and integrity in a person.
Moral stories about always telling the truth influence children in multiple ways. Firstly, it gives them a moral compass. They understand that lying is bad and truth - telling is good from an early age. Secondly, it helps in their character building. An honest child is more likely to be confident as they don't have to worry about covering up lies. Also, in school and at home, they are more likely to be respected by their peers and elders. For instance, a child who always tells the truth when they break something will be seen as responsible rather than a child who tries to lie about it.
No, it's not a common saying. Common sayings usually have a more widespread and easily understandable meaning. This phrase is rather complex and not as widely known or used as typical sayings. It might be more of an individual's or a small group's expression rather than a commonly used adage.
Well, I'm not sure which specific 'lion always tells the truth' story you mean. There could be many fictional stories with such a concept. Maybe it's about a magical forest where a lion is the only one who always speaks the truth and helps other animals solve problems by being honest.
