The group had surrounded a dog Concerned the boys were hurting the dog the reverend went over and asked What are you doing with that dog? One of the boys replied This dog is just an old neighborhood stray We all want him but only one of us can take him home So we ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog The reverend was taken aback You boys shouldn t be having a contest telling lies he exclaimed He then launched into a 10-minute sermon against lying beginning Don t you boys know it s a sin to lie? and ending with Why when I was your age I never told a lie There was dead silence for about a minute Just as the reverend was beginning to think he d gotten through to them the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said All right give him the dog
