Felix Hates The Liar

People have been lying to Felix
all his life.

Mom said Dad would be back
pretty soon.

That was a lie.

Dad never showed his face
again in that house.

The pretty social worker lady
told Felix
he would like his foster home.

The people would be kind,
and treat him well.

That was all a lie,
a fabrication
of enormous proportions.

Nothing was ever
further from the truth.

His foster Dad,
promised him this,
and promised him that,
if he would just work
hard and long for nothing.

It was just more worthless lying.

Felix never lies to anyone.
He knows what will happen
if you lie.

Those lies will come
right back on you,
and bite you in the tale.

Never-ever lie to a kid.

This is good advise Felix. I guess I'm okay.
I get into more trouble for telling the truth than for lying. (sometimes people don't like to hear the truth)

Yes, dear Bobby, when lies are uncovered they hurt so much and a child remains so confused.

Felix learns his lessons quickly, I see.

Bravo.

Love,

At least Felix learned this truth, which evades so many so-called grownups.

The truth never hurts in comparison to lies that hurt the most. Nicely done Bobby
