    (continued from previous page)
    not be afraid little girl," I am going to give you a present." He opened a beautiful box and he took out a necklace and gave it to her.
    Then they went home very happy. The next day she went to school, and all the girls were asking her where did she get the lovely necklace. One of the girl asked her where did she get it. She said she got it at home from her mother. As soon as she said that the necklace turned rusty, and they all knew where she got it. Every time she told a lie her mother and father knew it.
