Adam had learnt from his friends that lying is the easiest way out of any situation. So he became fond of lying and enjoyed telling small lies. When his parents caught him and warned him against telling lies, he shrugged them off, saying, “Lies never harm anyone!” Adam’s father decided to explain to him why lying is bad. One evening, Adam and his father were walking down the street with some groceries. Just then, they saw a car rammed into a bookstore. Adam’s father asked a man what happened and he replied, “The car driver lied to his father that he could see without spectacles. They both were in the car when the accident happened. The father is seriously hurt. I’m sure the boy regrets ever lying!” Adam’s father said, “See Adam, a lie is so dangerous! It can hurt people!” Adam realised the huge cost of a lie and stopped lying.
