Telling the truth is something that should always be done, no matter what. Telling a lie is something that can often cause trouble. In many cases, people find reasons to lie, but is it right?
For example, a young boy and his sister are in a store. His older sister decides to steal a shirt and tells him not to tell their mother. The boy can not decide whether to say something or to keep it to him self. If he says something, his sister may be mad at him, but if he keeps it to him self, his sister will get away with stealing and the boy will be lying to his mother.
In this situation, what is the best thing to do? Tell the truth. If the young boy tells his mother that his sister stole, his sister can be rightfully punished and can learn not to steal. This is why telling the truth is always the right thing to do.
