Concerned that the boys were hurting the animal, he went over and asked them what they were doing. One of the boys replied, &#8220;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&#8217;re having a contest: whichever one<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> of us tells the biggest lie can take him home today.&#8221; Of course, the Reverend was shocked. &#8220;You boys shouldn&#8217;t be having a contest telling lies!&#8221; he exclaimed. He then launched into a 10-minute sermon against lying, beginning, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you boys know it&#8217;s a sin to lie?&#8221; and ending with, &#8220;Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie.&#8221; There was complete silence for about a minute. As the Reverend smiled with satisfaction that he&#8217;d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh. &#8220;All right,&#8221; he said, &#8220;give him the dog.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
