The Biggest Lie

A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of a few boys about 10 years of age, surrounding a dog. Concerned that the boys were hurting the animal, he went over and asked them what they were doing .

One of the boys replied, " This dog is an old neighborhood stray . We take him home with us sometimes, but only one of us can take him home. So we' re having a contest: which ever one of us tells the biggest lie can take him home today ."

Of course, the Reverend was shock ed. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies! " he exclaimed. He then launched into a 10- minute sermon against lying , beginning, " Don' t you boys know it's a sin to lie? " and ending with, " Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was complete silence for about a minute. As the Reverend smiled with satisfaction that he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh.
"All right ," he said,
" give him the dog."
