Once there was a boy named Peter. He was just like any other boy. He loved music, games, cars, and sports. He got along with his friends and his grade scores were average. However, Peter loved to lie. He would always lie to the teachers and to his friends, but nobody knew he lied to them. That is because Peter would always prepare for his lies. Getting ready to lie might be difficult, but he did it because he liked to see people get fooled by his little pranks. When he was young, he saw a TV show that tricked people for fun. He loved that TV show, and he became interested in fooling other people with his pranks. Another reason that he lied was to avoid doing homework because he was to busy making up pranks.
One school day, he got up in the morning and prepared for his first prank. He went to a friend named Sophia. They both rode the same bus. He went to her and said “Hi, Sophie! How are you doing this morning?” Sophia answered back. “Hi, Peter! Are you ready for school?” Peter went on with his plan. He started to act as if his stomach hurt very badly. Sophia asked “What’s wrong Peter?! Are you OK? Should I go get some medicine from the drugstore?” Peter didn't say anything but just groaned. Sophia was so worried that she ran to the nearest drugstore to get medicine for Peter. Peter ran into the bushes to see how she would act if he was gone. Sophia came with the medicine. “Peter where are you? Peter! Where did he go!” The school bus came and Sophia didn’t know what to do, so she went on the bus and dialed Peter. Peter didn’t answer the phone, because it was part of his plan. After the school bus left he laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes. Then he realized he didn’t have any way to go to school. He didn't have money for a taxi. He couldn’t go back home because if he did, his mom would be suspicious of him. He decided to ask the police officer right across the street to ride him to school. He went to the police officer. Peter said “Hello, officer! My name is Peter. I’m 11 years old and I need to go to school but I missed the bus today… Could you give me a ride please?” The officer said he would love to. So the police officer drove Peter to school. While the officer was driving, he asked questions to Peter. Peter lied because he knew he wasn't going to see that police officer again. The officer asked “Why did you miss the bus? I saw you wondering around the bus stop earlier this morning.” Peter calmly lied about it. “I couldn’t ride the bus because I needed to get medicine for my sick friend, Sophia.” The police officer was pleased that Peter was trying to help a friend. He asked if it was the girl that was with him, and Peter said yes. He was late for school but got excused, because the police officer thought he didn’t mean to be late. After lunch, there was a carrier finder program. Today job was a police officer. When the police officer came in, Peter did not recognize him. However, the officer recognized Peter. The police officer talked about his job and about respecting the rules. After that ended, he said something that changed Peter’s life. He said that he was proud to know there was a student who tried to help a friend despite being late to school. He called Peter out. Peter then noticed it was the officer who drove him to school, and became nervous. The officer asked if Sophia was here. Sophia was confused because she didn't know why the officer called for her. The officer asked if her stomach was OK. Sophia didn't understand the police officer. The police officer became confused too. Peter ran away. He ran and ran and ran. He was crossing a bridge to go back home, when suddenly he saw the police officer and Sophia running towards him. He was so scared he couldn’t. He just stood there and screamed out loud! He didn’t know what to do… He regretted his actions. Sophia and the officer were coming closer and closer. What should he do? Should he tell the truth or should he keep on lying?
