To Tell the Truth

By Stephen Taylor, Patti Farmer, Stephen Taylor

I am Benjamin Gates. I tell the Truth. And to tell you the truth, this has not been a good week. The truth is often the last thing people want to hear, so whenever Benjamin responds honestly, he makes another enemy. When Benjamin decides that honesty is the best policy, he learns that telling the truth can sometimes hurt. Unfortunately, his friends don't always appreciate hearing the bald truth. Before long the whole class has stopped talking to him. The solution is ingenious and funny, and best of all Benjamin stays true to himself and avoids telling even one little white lie.
