George- Hey Andy, do you to come round to my place after school? We can go fishing in the lake�
Andy- Cool!!� I�ve never been fishing , will you teach me?
George- No problem, I don�t know much yet, but I�ll what I know. Besides, how tough can it be? It�s not like the fish can run , is it?
Andy- I suppose . George? Can you tell me a little bit about fishing?
�
George- Sure, the rule about fishing is learning to exaggerate�
Andy- Exaggerate?? What�s that then George?
�
George- It�s a kind of good lie�
Andy- Good lie? But I thought all were bad!�
�
George- Apparently not in fishing. When you describe the you caught to your family or friends, you�re supposed to show how the fish was by pulling your hands apart�
Andy- And what has that got to do with lying?
�
George- You are supposed to pull your hands really wide and say �It was THIS big.�
Andy- And what if they ask to see the fish? They will it wasn�t as big as you described�
�
George- That�s the second of fishing. You always say you threw it back, you only show them the ones you actually , but the �big one� you say you felt sorry for it or like that and you threw it back so it could go and be with its family.
Andy- Fishing sounds really cool, you can and not get punished for it�
�
George- That�s the adults invented it, and the adults are always lying and not getting punished�
Andy- Oh yeah? How so?
�
George- Like when the nurse is about to give an injection� She always says: �This won�t at all.�
Andy- Oh yeah!� Gee George, you�re so clever!
