George Paid for His Lie

George and Sheena’s mother advised them many times to take care of each other like good siblings. She warned them not to lie even in jest to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

One day, George saw a piece of pizza in the fridge that belonged to Sheena. He felt like eating pizza, but he did not eat. George saw Sheena outside on the lawn, felt mischievous, and said I have eaten your pizza.

Sheena went straight into his room and furiously cut his environmental banner with scissors into pieces. George had been working on that banner for the last three weeks.
