The Emperor's Seed is an inspiring story about honesty, about integrity. In a capsule, it tells of an emperor about to "retire" and decided to choose his successor among the young people in the empire. He gave each of them one seed and told them to make it grow and come back a year later. After a year, all the youth, except a boy named Ling, came back with all sorts of big and beautiful plants. Ling had only an empty pot to show. The emperor chose him as his successor. Why? Only Ling had the integrity, the honesty to tell the emperor that he "failed" to nurture the plant. Unknown to all of them, the emperor had given them boiled seeds which, of course, would not grow. If the stakes are high and lying promises to bring us rewards, how many of us are willing to tell the truth?

It's talking about a man becoming all consumed in his own materialistic world, and he is so blinded by wanting to be the best that he doesn't see that he is being lied to by the traveling Taylor all along.
