Who knows the origin of foreign honesty festival?

On May 2nd every year, American children hold various activities to celebrate a special festival-Honesty Day.

This festival comes from a tragic and true story. Many years ago, in Montero, Wisconsin, there was a child named Emmanuel Denan. After he was born, his family suffered misfortune one after another, and his parents died one after another. At this time, he was only 5 years old. Just when he was desperate, a childless hotel owner named Norton adopted him. After Dannan was rescued, he recognized the Norton couple as adoptive parents. Although Dannan is young, all kinds of troubles and hardships that come too early make him very sensible. Norton's hotel is not big, he does everything, and he is very respectful and filial to his adoptive parents. The life of a family of three is going well. In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and Dannan has grown to 8 years old and is more sensible. He gradually found that his adoptive parents were not decent people. Small hotels sell watered wine and charge more for flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Norton are always trying to find ways to cheat customers. Dannan was very dissatisfied when he saw it, and often advised his adoptive parents not to make money. Instead of listening, Norton sometimes slaps him in the face and scolds him for eating inside and choosing outside. Over time, the more he looked at the children, the less pleasing to the eye, and the more he punched him. One night, a peddler came. He quarreled with the Norton couple as soon as he entered the door. Dan nan listened carefully, as if he were having an account problem. That night, the vendor checked into the hotel. Norton seems to be in a bad mood and drank a lot at dinner. Moreover, he bombarded Dannan upstairs early, waving his fist to warn him that if he dared to run downstairs tonight, he would break his "dog leg". Dannan was lying in bed, surprised and scared. This year, although the adoptive father often beat him, it was the first time in memory that he was so fierce and bullied. Moreover, from the flashing eyes of my adoptive father, I always feel that something unusual will happen tonight. After midnight, Dannan, who finally fell asleep, was awakened by a fierce quarrel. He got out of bed, put his ear to the floor, and heard the adoptive father and the peddler swearing in the dirtiest and dirtiest language. After a while, I heard a scream of "ah", and then there was silence, and there was no sound at all. Although Dannan was trembling with fear, he put on his clothes, crept downstairs, put his face on the door of his adoptive parents' room and looked through the crack of the door. The sight scared his hands and feet cold. I saw the peddler lying on the ground, with a knife in his chest still shaking gently. The foster mother stood by, rubbing her hands, and kept muttering, "You killed him. How good would that be? He's dead, dead ... "Dannan suddenly felt dizzy. At present, golden flowers were flying, and he suddenly leaned forward, only to hear a "shout" and hit his head on the door frame. Norton was stupefied and immediately strode over, pushed open the door, grabbed Dan Nan's hair and dragged him in. Norton rolled his eyes and his face softened. He sat down Dannan, who was at a loss, and said kindly, "Son, you saw this peddler come in and kill him. Dad accidentally killed him in self-defense, right? He also brought this knife, didn't he? When the police come tomorrow, you will say so. " Dannan sat there like a log and never left the vendor's body. After a long time, he suddenly sat down on the ground, buried his head in his adoptive father's knee and burst into tears. He said, "Dad, what you said is wrong. I know. You killed someone. Dad, I beg you, please turn yourself in to the police station! In this way, our family can live ... "Norton was so angry that his face turned into a pig's liver color. He raised his leg and kicked Dannan to the ground. He shouted at the top of his lungs," You little bastard, are you going to take your father to court? Come on, it's that peddler who wants to kill someone ... ""No! " Dan nan covered his chest, looked up and said, "I won't lie." You killed someone. You should go first ... ""Bang! " Dan nan got another slap in the face. The foster mother also jumped up, punched and kicked, took out a rope and tied Dannan tightly. Then, the couple started together and hung him on the floor. Norton picked up the whip, slapped Dannan and said, "Well, don't lie! Then go to hell! " "Death, I don't lie!" Dan Nan's head was dripping with sweat the size of a bean, but he was still stubborn, "he said. The whip rained down on Dannan, and the foster mother took another stick and hit it mindlessly. She said, "Come on, how did this vendor die? "If you are right, I will let you down." "This is ... you ..." Dan Nan opened his hazy eyes and said weakly. Whip. The stick rained down again, and Dannan twitched all over and suddenly shouted, "No, I won't lie!" " My head suddenly fell to my chest, motionless. Mr. and Mrs. Norton looked at each other, only to know that they had made another big disaster and could not afford to fall to the ground. Mills of God grind slowly but sure. Although Mr. and Mrs. Norton were evasive in court, they were arrested for murder and received due punishment. Afterwards, the Montero municipal government built a monument and a statue for Dannan to commemorate the child who would rather die than lie, and decided that the day of his death on May 2 was Honesty Day. The inscription on the monument reads:-Remember the man who died for the truth, and he will live in heaven forever. Now, the monument is filled with white flowers to express condolences every day. Everyone passing by here should take off his hat to pay tribute to this fearless and honest man. Teachers and parents should also tell their children the story of Dannan.
