An elderly gentleman who was walking along a road niticed a crowd of small boys sitting in a circle around a puppy dog of doubtful pedigree.
"What are you doing with that dog?" he asked kindly.
"Whoever tells the biggest lie wins the dog," said one of theboys.
"oh," said the man, "I am surprised at you boys, for when I was small like you I never told a lie."
There was a moment's silence. Then one of theboys finally spoke, "Give him the dog."
