Integrity - The Book of Virtues #7 DVD

Zach & Annie Story

Annie's handmade weathervanes sell like crazy at the school fair. In order to keep up with the demand, she cuts a few corners when building more weathervanes. Later when the weathervanes begin to fall apart, angry customers who want their money back confront Annie. Humiliated, Annie retreats to Plato's Peak where she hears several tales about the concept of "integrity."

For Want of a Horseshoe Nail (English legend)

King Richard III was preparing for battle to determine who would rule England. In making sure his favorite horse was ready, he told the blacksmith to "quickly shoe the horse." But the blacksmith had run out of horseshoes and needed to get more. When he finally began nailing the shoes onto the horse, he found he was short of nails. "Just nail it on as best you can," cried the king's attendant. But it wasn't good enough. When the horse stumbled during the battle, it led to King Richard's defeat.

Charlemagne and the Robber Knight (German legend)

King Charlemagne responds to a dream in which he is requested to go out and secretly steal. Charlemagne sneaks out into the night and meets a would-be robber knight named Elbegast. He accompanies Elbegast to the home of one of his own most trusted ministers, Arnot, whom Elbegast has decided to rob. Once inside Arnot's house, Elbegast overhears Arnot's conspiracy plans to overthrow Charlemagne. He abandons his robbery plans and warns Charlemagne of the impending danger. For regaining his integrity as a knight, and for giving up his ways as a robber, Elbegast is rewarded with a place in the Emperor's service.
