Juancito used to always lie to his teachers to justify his absences and avoid being suspended, one day after having exhausted most of his excuses, he opted for a rather difficult one, after missing a week of school for going to a video game room. to her teacher: Sorry, I did not come to class because my father died.
Upon hearing this news that teacher was so moved that I call all the teachers of the school so that together they could give a present to Juancito's mother. After several days of planning that gift was ready and they decide to take him by surprise, when he knocks on the door it is just his father who receives them, confused they ask Juancito's father: Have you not died?
The father responds confused: No, who told him that?
And the teacher's response was only: Juancito and we decided to come and bring this gift in the name of the school.
Since then Juancito distressed understood a great saying that his grandparents said "If you're going to lie, let it be brief"
