Honesty The Best Policy

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, do you know why you're brought here to see me?

Jacob : Nope (although he knew)

Discipline Teacher : Now now Jacob, do you know that throwing papers at girls is not a nice thing to do?

Jacob : I don't (although he purposely threw them to irritate)

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, everyone in class saw you threw the papers, and I saw you doing it myself.

Jacob : You must've gotten the wrong person, sir. (trying to push his luck)

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, would I question you if you didn't do anything wrong?

Jacob : *speechless*

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, then tell me, if it wasn't you I saw, who was it then?

Jacob : OH! It was another Jacob from the next block! (there's only one Jacob in school - him)

Discipline Teacher : *frustrated* Jacob, can you show me this "Jacob" you're referring to then?

Jacob : *instantly replying* I can't, sir! Becausee....erh, he's probably hiding somewhere.

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, do you know that in this school, you're the only boy named Jacob?

Jacob : erhh..no i don't... (although he knew)

Discipline Teacher : Jacob. Wouldn't it be better if you just be honest rather than lying once and saying another lie to cover the previous lie?

Jacob : *paused* ...but I didn't lie!

Discipline Teacher : Look at yourself Jacob, you're trying to cover another lie with that?

Jacob : *speechless*

Discipline Teacher : Jacob, because you lied not once, but all the while just to cover up ONE lie, you leave me with no choice but to call up your parents.

Jacob : (tears starts to pour)

Discipline Teacher : I'm sorry Jacob, I've given you many chances to tell me truthfully but you chose to lie to me, now go to the waiting room in the next room, Jacob.
