十3、 A Competition of Lying
A certain old gentleman was very unhappy about modern education, and thought that young people didnt know the difference between right and wrong.
One day he was taking a walk near the church when he saw some young boys standing around a small cat. The old gentlemen went up to the boys and asked them what was happening. One of the boys said to himWere having a competition. Were telling lies, and the one who tells the biggest lie will keep the cat.
The old gentleman thought this was a good chance to teach the boys a useful lesson, so he said to them,Ive never told a lie in my life. At once there was a great shout from all the boys, and they said,Youve won! The cat belongs to you!

撒谎比赛
某个老年绅士对现代教育颇为不满，他觉得青年不了解是非之间的差异。
有一天，他在教堂附近散步时，看到一些小孩子围着一只小猫。这位老绅士凑上前去问孩子们发生啥事了。有个男生告诉他：大家正在进行一场竞赛。大家在比赛撒谎，哪个说的谎最大，这只猫就是哪个的。
老绅士感觉这是教育孩子们的一个好机会。于是他就对孩子们说：我这辈子从未说过谎言。立刻所有孩子异口同声地大喊：你赢了！这只猫是你了!
