by Mark Twain

In the seemingly idyllic town of Hadleyburg, where honesty is held in the highest regard, a stranger arrives with a plan to expose the hypocrisy that lies beneath the surface. Through a clever scheme, he challenges the town's beliefs and reveals the corruptibility of even the most upstanding citizens. As the truth unfolds, the consequences for Hadleyburg and its inhabitants are both profound and far-reaching.
