He ordered a coke and a bigmeal. The kind fellow, feeling good about helping thisold man, asked, “Tell me, old man, how many fish haveyou caught today?”The old man took a drink of coke and said, smiling,“You are the sixth today, sir!”A priest was walking down the street when he sawa group of boys standing by, all of them about 10-12years old. The group was surrounding a frighteneddog. The priest was concerned that the boys mighthurt the dog.“What are you doing with that dog?” he asked.“This is a stray dog, father,” said one of the boys.“We all want to take him home, but only one of uscan. So we’ve decided that whoever can tell thebiggest lie will get to keep the dog.”“You boys shouldn’t have a contest for telling lies!”exclaimed the priest.……The priest then began a 10-minute lecture on whytelling lies is bad, beginning with “Don’t you boysknow it’s a sin to lie?” and ending with, “Why, when Iwas your age, I never told a lie.”There was a long silence among the boys. Just asthe priest was beginning to think he had taught theboys a lesson, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh andopened his mouth.“Okay,” said the boy. “Give him the dog.”3
