Is it ever ok to lie? Can you be a true friend and deceive everyone you know? The men of China are required to join the king’s army to fight the Hun and defend their country. Mulan’s father, a retired military great, was never blessed with a male child and he must go to battle. Because of his feeble state, Mulan steals… yes STEALS… her father’s armor and joins the army telling all that she meets that she’s a man. Was it the right thing to do? “thou shall not lie”…”thou shall not steal”
