DON'T TELL LIES

0

My mother always told me that I should never tell lies. I know what she meant, and in a way I am

00

agree with her. In other ways, however, I think she was in wrong. In order to be polite and to avoid

53

offending people, it's necessary to say a little white lie sometimes. Let me give you an example. I

54

always write to my Auntie Audrey and tell her what a lovely the day I had with her on Sunday and

55

how delicious the lunch was been. Neither of these strings is true, but it would be rude not to write

56

and writing the truth would hurt too much, so I have to lie with her. In the same way, you have to say

57

that a newborn baby looks beautiful; even though we know they all much look the same and are only

58

actually beautiful in the eyes of their parents. And of course, when I've had done my hair cut, or when

59

I'm wearing a new outfit for the first time, the last thing I want to hear is the truth. I want to tell why I

60

look wonderful. In these type situations, the truth would not do any of us any good!
