Deception for Fun and Profit, Monday, Period 2

[doubleohblonde]

"Good morning," Bond greeted his class. "Now, in honour of the weekend we're going to have a story. Or at least the bullet point version. The boy who cried wolf.

"For those of you who haven't heard this one before, the story involves a shepherd boy who, for whatever reason, starts raising the alarm that a wolf is attacking his flock, the other villagers arrive, only to find out that nothing of the sort is happening. This happens several times, then a wolf actually attacks, the boy raises the alarm, the villagers are too jaded to believe him, and you can guess the rest."

He clapped his hands together. "What can we learn from this story?"

Cosima hesitantly raised her hand. "Maybe don't lie so much people stop believing you?" she tried. "Or at least don't tell the same lie."

"Don't lie if you don't need to," Ada said, rolling her eyes. "Take the truth and smudge it a bit, that's always better than an outright lie. And hell, if you don't need to smudge, why bother?"
