Paul for two weeks, he was late from work and always had an excuse to disappear over the weekend. His wife Karen was worried about Paul's strange way of behaving.
One afternoon Karen told her best friend that she suspected that her husband was cheating on her with another woman, who a couple of days ago had discovered that her husband was lying to her, when he told her that she would work late.
Paul and Karen would celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary in a few days, so Karen was willing to fight for their marriage. Without that, Karen knew, for weeks Paul was preparing a surprise party for his anniversary in which, he would bring all the guests and family members who witnessed their wedding, and the priest who married them. His idea was to create the day of their marriage and renew their married vows.
When the anniversary date came, Karen was surprised when Paul knelt at his feet and asked her to renew their wedding vows, and Paul confessed that the lies he said were to surprise her.

Perfection is a flaw compared to the integrity and commendable lifestyle Raymond had. Raymond is excellent perfection in every sense of the word. In the compound where we lived Raymond was the envy and wish of every parent. If it was possible to carry 0 instead of 1st as position Raymond would have had it cause he was extremely brilliant. My parents wouldn't fail to sell me off, add money and buy Raymond if possible.
Thief O! was the cry that woke up the neighborhood at about 5a.m. People have been complaining of missing yams but nobody knew who the thief was.

Sweet Lies
When my daughter Sofia was 4 years old she went everywhere with her doll Boo, who was the protagonist of her favorite movie Monsters Inc. Whenever she came home from school she saw the film on video and never seemed to get tired of watching it repeatedly. My daughter and her doll were inseparable and she did not fall asleep without cuddling Boo, the doll was like the sister she did not have, in fact, she always said the doll was her sister, not her daughter as most little girls do.
To celebrate her fifth birthday we organized a nice party with balloons, and the decoration was hallucinatory to the film, we invited family and friends to share that special moment. Her mother made her a chocolate cake decorated with sweets, her favorite, when the cake was ready, her mother kept it in the fridge.
The party was very fun and when I took the cake out of the fridge to sing happy birthday, my wife noticed that it was missing a small piece and some goodies, so she asked Sofia if she had eaten the cake, to which she he replied "no, mom, it was Boo".

Mandatory Military Service
When I met Eduardo in college I knew that he liked to go to parties and go out with his friends on weekends, but as he was very handsome and was a gentleman we started dating shortly after meeting.
On those times in my country young people over 18 years were forced to do military service, but as they did not show up to register at military bases, officers made raids on public transport buses to force them to do their military duty.
On the day of our first wedding anniversary, I put my makeup on and my best clothes, I waited for my husband, the hours passed by... He did not arrive. The next day in the afternoon he told me "they recruited me and thanks to an official friend who happened to know them, they letted me go", he exuded a liquor smell and seemed not to have slept, but he never accepted that he was lying. After 22 years of marriage he still holds his lie while smiling, but he no longer attends parties without me.

Truth: "Why are you laughing so much?"
Lie: "Did not you find out what happened to the little minister Juan, that the wolf ate the sheep?"
Truth: "Yes, and do you know why that happened to him? For a liar "
Lie: "No, do not blame me, he just wanted to have fun and said that little lie, what happened was that people did not help him"
Truth: "Do you know something? There are no small or big lies, neither white nor black; lies are lies, and those who practice them are liars. Maybe some do it for fun and others because they are not able to face the consequences of their actions, but you know? The one who falls into the lie then does not know how to get out of it and the first consequence is that nobody believes him. I hope you've learned that it's not good to lie in any way. "
Lie: "Insurance True that I understood you; is more since today I change the name hahaha is a brief lie.

"Why did you do it? Was it not bad enough that you were cheating?", the inspector asked
"All evidences points to you"
"I know I messed up, but I didn't murder her. Yes I lied about cheating and that we were in good terms, the truth is..... "
"Stop it, you implicated yourself, everybody lies. Even if you were going to, a brief simple lie would have sufficed, to save face but this cooked up complicated story of yours makes you seem more guilty".
"I didn't kill her I swear, please believe me" he begged.
"Even if you didn't, where is the proof, you messed up the only chance of an alibi, you lied about your whereabouts during the time of murder. I know you were with your mistress, you'd have just that but this your story of staying late at the office, hanging out with the boys and coming home drunk has been proven to be a cooked up story", the inspector fired at him
"but I didn't want it to seem like I had a hand in her death, that was why I cooked up the story, I didn't even think it through"
"You've implicated yourself Mr."

If You Must Lie, Be Brief
This topic made me remember during my Undergraduate school days what happened that i think suits this topic.
During my school days, time came when it was due for we the students to pay the sectional departmental dues; so, the courserep came announcing that the dues for the section will be #1000 instead of the normal #500, that the Head of Department (HOD) insisted we pay #1500, but he with our departmental course adviser pleaded for the said price; Announcement ends. Hours letter the Course Adviser came to lecture us, but something interesting happened, after the lecture, during the question and answer section, a colleague stood up and asked the lecturer why the sudden change of the departmental due from #500 to #1000 as per the announcement given by the courserep earlier before the lecture. The lecture was astonished and said angrily to the courserep and the general class, i did not ask you to pay any thing more than the normal amount for your dues. The courserep was speechless and ashamed as he was caught up with his lies.

THE MURDERER
source
One fateful day, Dan came back from school and saw his mother in a pool of blood with a blood stained knife on her hands and a suicide note. He grabbed her hurriedly but she was dead. He screamed with a loud anguished voice that alerted his neighbors.
The police got involved and saw that it wasn't suicide but murder! Fresh bruises were on her body. The cops searched the house and while searching, they found the license of Buggie on the floor. They surrounded his house immediately and questioned him.
Question: "where is your license?" asked by the policemen
Buggie: "My license goes with me everywhere, in fact, I just used it to pay for some taxes while coming and I kept it in my jacket few seconds before you badged in...."
Police: "you are under arrest, "if you must lie, be brief"
Buggie: "Holy shit!!!"

It all happened two weeks Ago when I lost my grandma.
I Was alone at home with my mum that Saturday afternoon, when we realized that the mild sickness had already taken her.
Though she was 97years old.
I had already Spent all the money I had on me the previous week when she was admitted in the local hospital together with the 30000 naira my friend gave me to keep for his international passport processing.
I couldn't have had money in my pocket and let her die when she could still live, so I had no other option than to use his money.
Now the ideastruck!
If you must lie be brief.
I didn't know what to tell him because he demanded for it Monday which was two days later. I sought advice from my little mind that was already feeling Defenestrated.
It said Don't lie because you're not good in telling lies.
Finally I told the truth because brief lie was my weakness, it once got me into trouble.
My friend shocked me with the Reply Don't bother i was once in your shoes therefore i understand.

The big lie of the designers
In a study of Community Managers, a group of graphic designers were making designs contracting the services of a recognized Design Agency, the bosses were very happy to see these great designs and began to get powerful jobs, began to receive cars , houses among other goods. One day the study of Community Managers tendered for the largest project in the country and one of the requirements was to participate with all their work team live and direct, that news was not at all pleasant for the Designers, since they had never designed something for themselves. The hour of the contest arrived live, and each one of them presented a different excuse for not designing, one said that his belly hurt, another said he could not stand the headache, and so on they were inventing excuses, the study did not win the tender and the designers were thrown out of their jobs.

So there's this colleague of mine at work her name is Fumilayo and she's a Nigerian. We normally partied together alongside with other colleagues of various departments.
We are at a bar one evening after work and she decided to gist us about her family. How rich they are and how many Cars they have alongside with landed properties. I was buy the story tho.
We all believed as per the talk was interesting plus it was such a nice story.
There came this point in the storyline that was a little bit fluctuating.
She had earlier told me that they stay in Enugu with her siblings and parents. But over here she was like she was the only child and the parents stayed in Lekki.
I now saw what was happening behold my eyes were opened. I was seeing what she did there.
Turns out I was not the only one that knew they stay at Enugu.
So this other girl decided to asked her about her brother that was in another University. And the time she traveled to Enugu to see the mum.
My dear she was choked on her own lie. I couldn't contain the laugh. I think her name was disturbing her fumiLAYo.

Melancholy of conscience
(Story based on real life)
A boy had a beautiful, attentive and affectionate girlfriend, but he was fed up with her. The girl showed love enough, love, love and attention. She always sent messages of good morning love, calls, etc. Some messages said: "stranger" I love you "you promise that we will never separate. One night before going to bed the boy received a message from her, instead of reading the message that the girl had sent him the boy went to sleep. He woke up and then the mother of the girl called him crying saying that she had been murdered the previous night. The boy hung up and started crying, after about 15 minutes he went to read the message the girl had sent. The message said: love I am in the doorway from your street, come quickly I think someone follows me I love you I'm afraid Moraleja: Never reject the one who loves you and cares about you because one day you will realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars

"María, I swear, she's just a friend." Jose told his wife because he got it in a loving act with Juana who is his secretary and lover. The relationship between Jose and María was full of experiences, good and bad but it surpassed anything. His marriage of 15 years was strong, although months ago it was falling apart because they did not spend time together.
Maria entered the house without warning and got them kissing. Jose began to explain, "She's just a co-worker, she's working on the details of the engineering project." His wife already knew everything, she was aware of what was happening between them, it was enough to see them together for a few minutes to figure out what they were hiding. María molesta says to her: "If you're going to lie, be brief." Save your empty words, do not be insensitive and inhuman, at least give me a reason not to hate you, repentant Jose says: "I'm an idiot. I betrayed our marriage for a moment of pleasure. You have the right to kill me if you wish, and I do not deserve to live if you are not by my side.

I do dry-cleaning in an army barracks and wanted to go to a party organised by a Major's son. Having no decent clothes, I was so desperate that I took those of Lieutenant Mike which was in my shop, with the intention of washing it after.
So I got to the party and saw lots of young people mingling. Seems the devil was after me, as I unknowingly ended up chatting with Lieutenant Mike's daughter. In an attempt to impress, I kept on telling outlandish lies. At a point she said we should take some pictures together, and since I was feeling myself, I agreed.
Thirty minutes later and after countless lies, I saw her Dad walk in with a couple of soldiers behind. I tried to quickly leave, saying I needed to get something outside but she choosed that moment to hug me, claiming she found me fascinating.
And that was how Lieutenant Mike walked up and she greeted him warmly. Next thing I knew the soldiers behind him descended on me and dragged me out where I learnt the lesson that if I must lie, I should be brief.

It was almost time for breakfast but I was in my room, finishing the pieces of meat I had taken from the pot last night. After washing my hands, I perked up as I heard my name being called.
Thinking it was time to eat, I rushed out only to see my mum towering over my brother who vociferously denied having stolen any meat yesterday. I immediately started thinking up a lie and by the time my mum turned to me, I was already speaking:
”Mama, you know I was reading my Bible overnight. How will I leave the word of God to steal meat.I also had an headache throughout the night so I could not leave my room. Besides, do I look like someone that can finish the breast and legs of a chicken alone?”
Right then I knew I had said too much as my mum’s eyes widened. Looking at me, she asked: ”how did you know it is the breast and legs that are missing?”
Nothing was going to save me from the beating mum was going to give me. How I wish I had kept the lie brief.

My dad is someone whom you can not easily convince, because he is just like the FBI at times I get to wonder if he was among the MI6 or CIA
His questioning is always carefully selected waiting for you to make the slightest mistake.
The kinda dad I have is the kind that will make you to take time and plan your lie or excuse, because he will make sure he confuses you and gets into your head to get the truth.
With people like this if you must lie you need to make it talented and brief such that he doesn't get you by any means. The plan must be so well that you will not have to change a said word or sentence 😂😂😂

My tears fall from my eyes, like the rain fall from the sky. Pain. That's all i could feel as i look at the photo i was holding for hours. Like i was holding into "us" for the longest time. Me and him being happy with each other. Crying over something supposed to be called love. He betrayed and crushed me.
"you are the best thing that ever happened to me"
"darling, You are the one i've ever wanted"
"i love you"
I kept hearing his words on my head. His lies that blinded me for years. He hurt me like no one else. But i still love him more than he could ever known.
Dont ever come to me again. I cant here your lies anymore. Please stop. Or else i still cant stop myself from loving you all over again even if it will cause me pain.
Is it still his lies who keeps on hurting me? Or is it my lies who kept the pain on my heart?

It was my final examination and was so excited that I would become a graduate soon. In the examination hall the questions were so simple that I looked around to see if my friends also found it easy. I noticed Jane my crush wasn't writing anything so I offered to help, that was when the supervisor caught me and filled examination malpractice form for me. That was the end, No graduation for me and I had to stay back an extra year… How do I tell my parents?... I had to lie to them that I had issues with my biometrics which I needed to sort out. Few months passed and I still haven't gone back home to show them my result. I had to tell lies upon lies just to cover up my little secret when they became suspicious but one faithful day they came to visit me unannounced and that was when they realized I never graduated in the first place and it was all a lie. My parents were very disappointed because I broke their trust by lying to them…”if you must lie, be brief” my mom said as she left in anger.

If You Must Lie, Be Brief
For some months now, I had been saving part of my salary to get a new phone. Last week, I got a new Iphone6 and on my way to church, friends saw me with it and started hailing me, believing I had gotten a job that paid handsomely.
Matters came to a head when my pastor said: "Brother Gbenga, it seems the Lord has blessed you. Don't forget to show your appreciation to him in a meaningful way."
Knowing what the pastor meant and having two 50 naira notes on me, one for offering and the other for transport, I quickly told him: "Pastor, God is yet to bless me. This phone with me costs less than 30,000 naira as I got it from someone who sells spoilt phones and had it repaired." To make sure he left me alone, I added, "I even need money urgently right now."
That was how the pastor told me to sell it to him for 50,000. In his mind he thinks he is helping me. Phone that I bought for more than 100,000 naira. Had I known I should have kept the lie brief.

I got on a bus this evening on my way back home from work and got a seat beside this extraordinarily beautiful lady. I noticed she was busy chatting or something on her Iphone and was looking for any means to get her to notice me.
So I took out my phone and pretended to be making a call:
“Hello Mr. Kunle. I was told you have the shipments ready to move. That is good. This is how it will be going down. You’ll send me your account details and I’ll send half the payment. Once my goods arrive, you will get the remaining fifty million naira.”
Glancing at the girl, I could see her looking at me, so I faked calling another number and said:
”Funmi, mum told me your school fees is a hundred thousand naira. I am sending three hundred thousand so text me your account details. Manage that for now.”
Now I could see the girl staring at me so I turned to her. She pointed to the floor and said: ”your phone’s battery fell down when you brought it out.”
I felt like disappearing.

Fly by Night described him perfectly. Absent for the years in which I needed him the most. Sure, he sent cards & generic birthday gifts. I even got occasional phone calls from exotic locations - But for the most part these interactions were out of obligation, not love. Dad moved around a ton. He had to, he was a confidence man. A con artist.
The day before my 30th birthday I stood outside Sunnybrook chain smoking. Once inside fear and sadness quickly overtook me. My legs trembled as I made my way to the east-wing of the 2nd floor. Oncology.
Barely the husk of a man. Tubes. Wires. Oxygen mask. Translucent skin. For what it’s worth, he seemed peaceful. I sat at his bedside. His eyes fluttered open. Joy. He took my hand. His sandpaper palms were rough but comforting. He pulled me close. Shifting his mask to the side.
“I’m sorry.” His eyes pleaded. I nodded. He swallowed hard and spoke again.
“If you must lie, be brief.” Suddenly his heart rate soared and he coded. He was gone. Just like that.
Thank you for coming today. Even if you’re only here to make sure he’s actually dead.
^^ The above two words don't count towards the story 😉

"If you must lie, be brief"
These were the words my supervisor whispered as I was ushered into the interrogation room. I am an accountant at a construction firm, and my supervisor had engaged in some shady deals which I covered up. Apparently I didn't do a thorough job, because the authorities found out.
In the world of 2025 corruption was a serious offence. The authorities had acquired the assistance of a device for interrogation. A lie detector that none could fool. It had sent ministers and other high ranking members of society behind bars.
During interrogation I was grilled with questions. Remembering my supervisor's words I kept my replies brief. The interrogation ended without any alarms going off. I heaved a sigh of relief as I was discharged.
A couple days later, I was informed that the device's manufacturer had been awarded a contract by my firm. A closer look at the books reveals shadier dealings that I wasn't aware of.
This makes me wonder, was I really lucky enough to beat the device or was it all prearranged?. Was I interrogated by a lie detector or was it just another lying machine?.

If You Must Lie, Be Brief

Tim was punished in his school for having stuck a chewing gum to a girl in his classroom. The teacher gave her a letter informing Tim about what happened to Tim so he could give it to his parents. The child knowing that his parents would scold him hid it. The next day the teacher asked her if her parents received the letter, the child told her that of course. The dubious teacher told her that she would call her parents to confirm it in the break. Tim, scared at the break, tells the teacher that he could not breathe (all to delay the time and the teacher could not call). But the opposite happened, they called 911, the parents, the friends ... in the end the lie was revealed. So...If you must lie, be brief...

The Lie
Princess Alicia ran happily into her father’s arms, King Arys, the Mad King. She clasped him in her embrace and couldn’t believe her fate.
“I’m glad father. For a moment, I feared you thought I was lying.”
King Arys smiled wryly.
“You’re the pride of my heart. How could I not believe you unless you give me a reason not to?”
He slowly got out of her embrace and began to walk to the throne.
“I didn’t even know that you didn’t sleep in the palace. I was just asking about your night.”
“But father, I slept in the palace.”
“Oh. Then why did you talk about the heavy downpour, the one that only happened in Riverrah where that blacksmith lives?”
King Arys stopped speaking when he got to the throne. Alicia’s eyes widened in fear as he picked up the crossbow.
“My sweet daughter,” King Arys continued as he turned to look at her, “in your next life, if you are going to lie, be brief.
The arrow caught Princess Alicia in the heart.

I met kike while serving in sokoto,she was always telling people how her parents stays in U. S. A and she will be joining them after her service year, she acted like she doesn't take a dump like every human alive.
She will criticize you for everything , I nearly strangled her one day when she threw out the rice I gave her to the dogs because there was no chicken.
After POP she came to our lodge to ask us if we were taking the bus or flying home without waiting for reply she rambled on about how her mom called from abroad and warned her not to take the bus and has already book her flight.

He was such a lying man that he did not spare time or place to lie; And a friend thought and said: it will be possible that if I manage to talk to him very early in the morning, perhaps because he is so early, I can get some truth from his lips. He managed to see him early, so much so that the dawn was breaking. He greeted him and said: how are you friend, so from tomorrow to here? And he replied: I go to the hospital quickly, I have my mother hospitalized and he is moved, he says: hear how sorry I am, give him my regards and wish it to go well. The friend replied.- Thanks friend, hey, you will have some money that you lend me, I need to buy a medicine and take it to my mother and he very hastened to answer yes, of course, how much do you need? They agreed on the amount and thus continued their journey ... And ... He meets another friend and says: I just talked to Juan, who has his mother hospitalized and I lent him money to buy a medication he needs. The friend replies, as well? Yes, I just saw Mrs. Rose watering the garden plants and she was smiling. -Can not be! He lied to me again! He did it again, Noooo!

At the top of the lowest.
Juan was a very popular businessman because of his enormous income and luxury, but he was even more so when he was denied before the court. He was a trafficker; He used his products to hide drugs and thus expand his company around the world. He was able to convince anyone, his way of speaking was very serious and made you imagine that everything was true. Each phrase because its security in each phrase had no comparison with anything. His motto was always "If you're going to lie, be brief".
His lies were very elaborate, and thanks to that, he always got the way so that no one would realize that his business was based on drugs. All that fantasy happened until the day that "Ben", undercover detective, I look for the most forceful evidence to capture this mobster, who rose and fell in a short time.

At some point in our lives we have said some pious lie, this time I will tell you mine.
One day my boyfriend and I planned a trip to Mérida but since my mother was very jealous to let me out, I told her that I was going to spend the weekend at a friend's house and she accepted without any problem. When we arrived in Mérida we stayed in a hotel that had a pool, restaurant and recreational areas; the next day we visited some parks, museums and squares. Everything was perfect until two days after leaving the hotel we got with an uncle who happened to be staying in the same hotel for work. The meeting was not the best, I wanted to die when I saw it, I had no reason to excuse myself from my big lie, he just told me that he gave me the opportunity to tell my mother the truth.
The day I arrived at my house I was armed with courage and I had to fight the truth to my mother, then the big scolding and the chant of why I had lied to her. From that day it was difficult to lie again.

She thought long and hard, finally heaved and said “Lying is a solution many people resolve to for several reasons. It could be getting out of a sticky situation, easing someone's pain, saving face, avoiding punishment or whatever”
She paused, I could sense she wasn’t done so I didn’t interrupt
“Some try to justify our lies by coming up with righteous reasons for them but in the end it's still a lie and though we know it's wrong we still choose it over telling the truth. This is because lying always seems easier than being honest” she continued.
I had to interject ”are you saying lying is acceptable and better than the truth?”
“No”
pause
“Sadly it is not. Lies are hard. They pile up overtime due to the fact that another lie has to be told when confronted by the initial lie and before you know it you're stuck in a giant heap of lies.”
She continues
“But sometimes we lie for a noble cause or to protect those we love.”
“Ultimately if you must lie, be brief.”

My mom always sends me the errands because I am the biggest and that bothers me, one day I sent me to the warehouse and I was upset on the way I met some friends from school and we went to knock down mangoes in a house that is abandoned, I was with it there, about an hour and I had forgotten what my mom sent me to buy, on the other hand my mom who had left to find me found me, mounted on the bush and I saw her throw me, and as I saw her angry I told her I went to all the cellars and there was not one in which I just rode to kill a sleeve that caused me, and my friends told my mother that it was true that I had just arrived, so I saved myself from a good scolding

I woke up this day, moody, upset, motivated to do something to help the cause. I got ready to go out and join this little movement, I'm in the car thinking of nothing and everything at the same time all the way. By now these feelings I've brought up early are getting amplified, I encouraged myself for the cause, at the moment I was ready I jumped into the streets. Hours after of protests these ''officers'' caught me doing nothing, robbed me, hit me and left me abandoned on the highway. They did that to thousands of people, not only what they did to me. They murdered people. They are still doing it.
It was at the Venezuelan protests in 2017.

My parents had saved up for over a year just to raise money for me to travel out of my home town and seek opportunities in the big city. I stood by the road side with my luggage when a man with an expensive car parked right in front of me. He offered to give me a ride,Reluctantly I agreed because he was traveling to the same city and it would help me save the money I had reserved for transportation… few hours had passed and we were already chatting like we had known each other for years… what's your story? He asked… I told him my parents died and my family took over their property and ever since I have been struggling with life. I told this pathetic lie just for me to be pitied and for him to offer some help because I sensed he was really rich. He offered me a place at his house till I got settled and when we got there I got the shock of my life… my distant aunt happens to be his wife…Don't ever lie about your situation but “if you have to lie, Be brief”...

Tunde and lilian stared at jide for a while, they couldn't believe he was lying again. He silently prayed that, his lies wouldn't be their end. A few yards away, men clad in neatly starched military camouflages surfaced. they came from a nearby barracks. Tunde immediately took lilian away close to the walls of the canteen leaving jide and the fair pretty lady to a forced privacy. It’s time he told the whole truth.
"see ehn baby, i'm sorry i've hidden this part from you. Jide is a…" tunde swallowed as he imagined how lilian would bear the truth.
"sister lilly! pls come" the fair lady called.
lillian rushed off to meet her cousin, as tunde further sank in regret, his love life is just about to end all because of some silly "bro-code".
The two men clad in military camouflages halted all of a sudden, one kept still whilst the other walked towards lillian's cousin. “Sergeant, take this man to the guardroom, show him how much of a bloody civilian he is”
"ah... my life, jide don kill me!" he muttered.
“Take this one too along! Next time let your lies be short as you!” lilian added

I just received the worst news of my life. I have terminal cancer. There is nothing to do except wait for death, my doctor gave me a stipulated time of three months, three short months. What am I going to do now? I leave stunned consultation, I only hear in my mind "three months" I enter a bar, I ask for a strong drink, I drink fast, I ask for another drink and another, the man who serves the drinks stares at me and asks me if everything goes well, I do not answer your question. And so I continue, drinking quickly, my mind is in chaos, it seems that in three months I will die, so what's the matter, I've never done this. The bartender keeps watching me, tries to flirt with me, I'm not interested in anything he's saying, I just want to drink. Soon I will not be and I know that this is not the best way to take my situation but I am very disturbed. All the alcohol begins to take effect in my body, I call the bartender and smiling I tell him: "if you are going to lie, let it be brief"

IF YOU HAD LIED ME, THAT HAD BEEN A SHORT LIE.
Roxana frequented a library where she met a nice boy who liked to talk with him. She observed that she has a friend who visits her too, a chubby girl and good looking. She detailed a lot of trust with him. It devoured the curiosity to know who he was, and one day he could not stand the intrigue and asked ... "You have something with the chubby?" The question weighing, because he expected another answer ... he said "Yes, some time ago I had something with her "and began to tell him with luxury and details all the intrigue of the adventure relationship she had, her life, and everything else she had lived ... It was sincere, she did not hide anything from him, she did not lie ... but Roxana would have preferred that he had given him a short lie to a complete truth ... she felt that being completely honest did him more harm than being a liar passenger. I would have simply said "No" and I would not have believed him, but I would have done him less harm. Sometimes you feel you prefer to cover the truth with a vague lie.

I want to tell you The lie is something that currently invades the world of adults in an excessively natural way. However, young children, when they start talking, only tell the truth.
Children learn to be dishonest for different reasons. The main reason is probably because they learn that telling lies can prevent scolding. On the other hand, they can also start lying to win the favor of others or discover that it may be the way to get the reward they are looking for. Of all these reasons we can say that children learn to be dishonest by the attitude of others, especially adults. In this sense, we should not blame them, but ourselves.
Children need to be taught the importance of honesty, avoiding retaliation and valuing the truth. A child who is dishonest or a liar is often because he does not trust others and there is no greater educational failure than a child who does not trust his parents or teachers.
There are a number of concrete steps you can take to teach children to be honest.

On vacation with aliens!
Talking to a friend, I told him my experience about my past vacation. I went with my family to the mountains. One night when I was getting ready to sleep, decided to go out to pee. Suddenly I heard a hiss, turned my head to check where it was coming from, the moon was slightly lighting the field and the tents, but I could see in the distance a shadow that looked like it was digging the ground, they looked like children, but small and slim. This worried me, I thought it were my nephews who went out to play and they could miss in the forest or something worse, I decided to walk and talk to them, so they get in the tents. I walked a few steps and suddenly the shadows stopped doing what they were doing when they felt my presence. I returned to the campsite and checked that all my nephews were there and everyone was sleeping with my sister so I decided to go to bed too. I told my friend that after this experience I can say that there are aliens, to which he replied “Friend If you're going to lie be brief”.

The grin on his face is wide enough to make me feel vaguely nauseous. And it looks like he heard somewhere that a sincere smile meets the eyes, because he's trying to crinkle his nose up in this weird sort of nose smile. It's quite unsettling.
"I just want to say that I've always admired everything that you do and as your neighbour I'm really honoured-"
I cut him off with a raised hand. "If you must lie, be brief."
The smile drops from his face like a screen fading to black. We both stare at each other for a while, before turning to look at the front of my house, caved in from his truck after it smashed through the front living room. How do you manage to accidentally drive that thing all the way across the front lawn? To make matters worse, the truck looks relatively unscathed. He could probably drive it right on out of here.
He rubs his chin and appears to consider my request. If you must lie, be brief.
Then he looks back at me and now I see that the smile has returned.
"I'll pay the damages as soon as I can."

One day, the King and the Prince left the castle together. They arrived at a village, at which point they separated. The Prince went back to his normal behaviour, getting on everyone's nerves, but the King returned unannounced and caught the Prince red-handed, up to his tricks.
The Prince took advantage of the fact that in that village there was a youth who looked just like him. He told his father that it had been the youth who had done all these bad things. However, the King, seeing what a lying snitch this person was, concluded that the boy in the village must be his real son, the Prince.
So the King took the boy back with him to the palace, and left the real Prince in the village. the Prince finally came to regret his previous life filled with lies and accusations. The other young man heard of this, and decided to forgive the Prince. He confessed to the King that he wasn't his real son after all. The King left the castle and brought his son home, and the two young men ended up as inseparable friends.

Have you ever been fed with so much information that you can’t help but notice it’s all lies?
As I looked through the corner of my eyes, I could tell from experience, that she was lying.
She had almost bought me over with her sugar-coated story until she added that she even spent that night with Daren the night of the murder.
How did she know the exact time it happened?
Funnily, Daren and I were having a drink over the previous case I was still investigating. It was the same time she had claimed to be with Daren, and it was the same time the murder happened.
She was guilty, I could tell.

THE KARATECAS CHILDREN
Luis and Alberto were two pre-teen children. They liked to practice karate, they were good at that sport, but bad at school, their parents told them that if they were to postpone a subject, they would be removed from the karate classes. They were worried because on that Friday when they would be given the newsletters they had the final competition and they did not want to miss it, the problem was that they already knew that they had left a subject and did not want their parents to find out about the competition. Alberto was the boldest and most ingenious of the two, they decided to put together a plan for that day. When the day of the competition arrived, Luis asked Alberto what we were going to say to our parents. He smiled and said, "We will tell you that the teacher who delivered the newsletters did not go to class because she was indisposed. If we are going to lie, we should be brief, and on Monday you will find out the truth but we will have already competed.

The double deception
It was a summer afternoon and Aihnoa is getting ready to go to work. While making breakfast, the husband of aihnoa phone rings with a message from a woman. Surprised by that scene, the woman proposes to be together in a hotel. I fall into panic and despair. I go up to the room to find my husband and I realize that he was gone. I sit on the stairs waiting for him, when he returns to look for the phone. I return it with that sarcasm and leaves. I secretly got into my car and started to chase him. My husband's car arrives in a hotel and when I observe it is my mother who has made the invitation. When I surprise them, I tell my husband: If you are going to lie to me, it is better to stop before beginning the divorce proceedings. In the midst of crying and a disgust of disgust I return to my house. My mother begins to touch the door insisting that I'm wrong, telling me we're just friends, she's helping me with a job! The impudence continues touching my life and again I say to him: If you are going to lie to me, be brief because you will not see me.

One fine day, my granddaughter, with many habits of lying, pretended to feel a strong pain and began to scream:
girl: it hurts, it hurts! Help, it hurts!
I, in the midst of despair, charge her and ask her:
Grandma: where does it hurt? in the head?
girl: yes, my head hurts.
Grandma: Or does your stomach hurt?
girl: yes, my stomach hurts.
Grandma: Or does your arm hurt?
girl: yes, my arm hurts.
from one moment to another I reacted to his answers and said: do you want cake?
and very fast replied: Yes, I want cake
Grandma: and your pain?
girl: it does not hurt anymore.
Grandma: So, your pain was another lie?
girl: no grandmother, it was just a little lie.
then I sat her in the living room and I told her you should not lie to me I'm your grandmother and I love you so much
girl: is that I saw your cake and wanted a piece
Grandmother: Children have the right to ask as long as they fulfill their duty to be good and not lie

I don't think I've told you before
You see, what I do is toy with your mind
When you think I'm actually shaking you, I'm checking your pockets.
That's not all!
I'm someone you call a magician
Now let me tell you something
I maintain illusions like Anansi,
I'm faster than Hermes could ever dream about.
And I also tell lies.
Lies so beautifully crafted you have no choice but to say the truth.
So answer this carefully, what do you want?
I want to be richest man imaginable,
And to look at the world like I own it,
To have the sexiest women at my beck and call,
And to have everything and everyone beneath my feet.
Wish granted...

Two ants went through the forest and after four days had passed, they were already exhausted, mainly because they had not found anything to eat. One of them saw a grain of rice in the distance and decided to lie to her companion saying: Go ahead, I need to be alone for a while.
After having left his partner, the ant looks for the grain of rice and begins to eat until he sees again his partner at his side very sad for being deceived, so he said: Why did you lie to me? Was not it easier to tell me that you did not want to share with me?
And with shame the ant replied: I'm sorry, it was very selfish of me and very dishonorable to lie to you. I always hear that if you're going to lie it's short, but this time look for my own interest so take half and half.
And after eating, both ants followed their path quietly and honestly.

Hurriedly, I ran to my pastor to inform him that my mother was ill, and needed my urgent attention. Confused, he asked me to leave the church service, even though I was the lead vocalist for the day.
I had been invited to sing in a gospel concert and I was to be paid alot of cash which I couldn't turn down. I boarded the next bus headed for the location of the concert, and to my dismay the concert had already begun before my arrival. I hurried to the back stage to meet the organizers, and I was due to perform next. I said a few words of prayer and mounted the stage.
As I lifted my left arm to raise the first song, I heard my name "Chris!!" The voice was familiar, and as I turned towards the direction of the voice, there stood my pastor cheering me, and unconsciously, my left arm fell and I was filled with guilt.
After the concert, I went to him to apologize, but he just looked at me and smiled and the words he said next changed me forever: "If you must lie, be brief" he said.

Fiction or not, I'm not telling. But, be sure of one thing, you will learn from this.
If you must lie, be brief.
My entry..
Jane was the love of my life, she's an epitome of beauty, I've kissed and hugged her a thousand times, I've held her hands, moved my lips close to her ear and I remembered whispering sweet nothings. All this happened in my dream world.
It would have been real, but, that Friday night destroyed everything. That night would have been the best day of my life.
She likes bad boys, don't get it twisted, I don't mean dangerous boys, a better name for them should be "players". Well, that was actually what I thought.
I sent Jane a message a day before for a meet up. Before then, I had to beg Jide to give me a hype. He'd told Jane a lot about me, better still, he told Jane nothing about me. It's my fault, I told him to make me appear even more bad.
That night, Jane walked up to me, gave me a kiss and whispered three words "check your mail".
That was the last time I saw Jane.
I opened my mail the next day, Jane had professed her love for me two days prior.

For three years now I've lived in Portugal. When I was still planning to move here I had a lot of friends. Most of them would tell me, "I will come visit you in Portugal!"
Months later I got a call from my friend Josyne that never planned on visiting me in Portugal. She had some trouble at home and wanted a short holiday. She asked if it was ok for her to visit me in Portugal. I told her the same I told all my friends who said they would come and visit me, "Of course, you are always welcome in my home!"
Two days later Josyne sent me a message, she booked a flight to Lisbon. I was so thrilled to see her and show her my new hometown!
Since I moved, I've gone back to the Netherlands four times to spend time with my family and friends. Whenever I saw friends (other than Josyne) they all kept saying, I will definitely come and visit you, very soon!
Until now, Josyne is still the only friend that ever visited me in Portugal. So to all my other Dutch friends: If you must lie, be brief...

She had gotten the beating of her life last night, her only offense was having the audacity to ask where he had been for two days. Two days of absence from his matrimonial home without trying to inform her of his whereabouts.
She could not speak freely to her husband anymore without risking a hot slap or another round of beating. Tears ran down her face as she thought of her youth.
She had been so beautiful and proud of her looks too. It was quite unfortunate she was not entitled to happiness in marriage.
Her parents had warned her but she wouldn't listen and they were visiting tomorrow. Her mother was sure to ask penetrating questions. Well, she won't let her catch on.
A brief answer would be her salvation, after all, if one must lie successfully, it must be brief so the other person doesn't catch on.
She could not afford her parents leaving her house sad and depressed with helplessness. In their culture, marriage was for life...no room for a divorce.
"This is my cross," She thought. "They must never know".

Immediately we entered the church that first day, we sensed something wasn't right, everything was in disarray. The pastor had almost replaced God as every song sang was with the pastor's name in it, praising him and commending his good works.
Pastor Randy was one randy fellow who had one of the biggest congregations in the city. Although we heard so much about him, we couldn't go because we weren't sure of his source of power.
Here we were with my husband sitting under this man who had a pedigree in sleeping with people's wives. My marriage was crashing, we had been married for eight tears without children, not even a child so we decided to pay this popular prophet in town a visit, at least; "at all at all na im bad pass!"
Immediately we entered, he beckoned on my husband to stand, he began to prophesy initially everything he said seemed to be true according to what my husband went through, we believed him until he said my husband's fourth brother was after his life. That was when we walked out from there.
My husband had three sisters and no brother. Indeed BE BRIEF WHEN YOU LIE

Madeleine missed school today, went out for a walk with your friends at the park. Between laughter and ice cream his cell phone rang. Quickly searched in his backpack and his hands sweat when you see on the screen that who called it, was…his father.
His thoughts ran quickly in his head…that answer?
Her courage and answered the call by saying:
"Hi dad, I am in class. When you called me, I can warn by using the cell phone."
I take a deep breath and felt a great peace of mind to think that that lie would have resolved the difficulty.
His great surprise it turned out that when you get home, Dad was saying:
"Tell me the truth, where you were when you call? You weren't in class, the sound of the fund to the calling was allowed when they go out for a walk."
That day Madeleine understood: THE LIE YOU WILL REACH NO MATTER HOW SMALL.

Lie for love
I never wanted to lie to you! Roberto said starting his letter to Leticia, a few minutes before having taken that poisoned drink that marked his end. I did not want to lie, you made me a liar; today I only say what you want to hear.As a pious act, lying is a way of saying I love you; as long as I am not the target of your worst angers; I lie like a sick person and see you in the eyes.
Every word destroyed my soul! you never understood that I always lied, because you would never believe, everything was to make you happy, for looking more like the perfect for you. I do not support this tale of terror that killed my heart. I just want to say my beloved Leticia, that everything by did the love.
A great sigh makes Leticia, stagger leaves her mind blank, and unable to contain spills all the pain in tears.
Leaving a true moral of this short story, IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF. Do not cling to build only a world where you will not go very easy.

IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF.
''Lie is catastrophic, but more humiliating when the truth is unveiled''. This was the favourite advise of my grandmother. So, i asked her why she loves this advise so much; then she said:
''I was 26 years old when i graduated. I submitted my Resume to an oil company; but, because I was told the company accepts between 22 - 26 years only, i reduced my age to 23 hoping of increasing my employment chances. Fortunately, i was called for the interview. I had already answered their questions and they believed my lie about my age. Due to that pride in me, i chose to lie some more, so i said 'when i was 25 years old, i traveled to the United States for a short course...' I was caught with immediate effect. This was how i lost the job and the company further tarnished my reputation by sending my name to other remarkable companies which led to my suffering for 15 years before getting another job. Since then, i vowed never to lie again; but if, by chance, i fall a victim to lie, i will make it as brief as possible so that i could easily make amends.''

A new lady invented herself on the wheels of beauty; she was so classy.
I was addicted to crush on her; the burden of wishful thinking placed on me was beyond borders, my emotions walk on waters.
I told my best pal, he built-up my mind muscle to ask her out with his sugar coated words he injected into my blood.
Walking with him one day we saw this beauty and the spirit that ignites my existence left me in a flight. My friend noticed this, he instilled the fuel of courage into my brain.
I confronted her, funny enough; she was mild mannered and soft spoken, birthing a success story I shared with my friends.
One out of my friends said, she was his girlfriend from college for as long as he can remember, that they both spent their dates in Obudu ranch, they where the best couple on campus, the fabric of their love was painted bright gold and the fumes was as that of a rose.
And afterwards he said further, please I misplaced her contact can you do me a favor?
Oh please,
If you must lie, be brief
with the I details, I responded.

So yesterday I wrote a test, and today I got to find out that the questions leaked two days before the test. How it happened still remains a mystery to me.
The news was everywhere, names were mentioned and some of the names really shocked me as I was not expecting such from them. Anyways, humans are not to be trusted. I do not know what hurt me the most, if it was the fact that some of my friends knew about it and didn't tell me or it was the fact that I didn't know before the test.
I called some of them and asked if the rumors were true and most of them went on and on that they didn't know of any leaked questions and acted surprised while some said they found out five minutes to the test.. wow. I could see the lies through them. I decided to asked the leaker.. lol sorry, the guy that supplied the questions about the whole thing and he confirmed that he gave most of them the questions. Still thinking if I should let them know I know the truth or let the matter die. What do you think?

"Have you slept with him before?"
"He stinks, I can't."
Cynthia looked at Dorathy smilingly,"OK!"
Silence swallowed them, then Dorothy started again.
"That guy is poor, very broke. He is not my type, he cannot take care of me. He's so disgusting. What kind of girl dates such individual? Let alone having sex!..." Dorathy argued alone.
Cynthia was still on her phone, going through gallery. She swiped from one picture to the other. Dorathy observing her silence was startled because Cynthia was usually more talkative.
Cynthia was a lover of gists especially topics concerning gender, relationship and emotionally inclined conversations.
But today she was not into that and that got Dorathy anxious.
"Why ask?"
Cynthia stares at Dorathy, "Actually I was in the hotel room the other day you guys had sex. I was in the wardrobe".
Dorathy was speechless.
"You know, you could have just said, 'No I've not had sex with him' than criticize his whole existence."
"If you must lie, you must be brief so people don't create cases out of it."
As Cynthia uttered these words, Dorathy looks down in shame.
