Elite lie
On a winter day, a priest was on his regular morning
walk through a street. As he was walking
he came across a few boys standing in a circle and he stopped beside them. Out of curiosity he asked, “What are you
doing?”
The boys gave way to the priest and said, “See, here
is a nice little pup lying uncared for.
All of us are interested in caring for her and owning her.” So the
priest said to them. “How are you to decide on the ownership?”
The tallest in the group said, “We’ve decided to
have a competition. Whoever tells the
biggest lie can have the pup.” The
priest was unhappy about the competition and said. “My dear boys, whatever may be the situation,
it is not advisable to have a competition for telling lies. At your age I never told a lie.”
There was an absolute silence. The boys looked at each other and the
smallest boy in the group quietly bends down, took the pup and gave it to the
priest and said, “You won!”
