Lisette’s Lie Catharina Valckx
Lisette and her little friend Bobbi aren’t playing today. They’re just talking. “Have you ever told a lie?” Lisette asks. Bobbi thinks about it. “You mean, a big actual lie? I don’t think so. Not really.” “Me neither,” says Lisette. “We could try it, though. Just for fun.” “Let’s do it!” says Bobbi. “Who shall we lie to?” “It doesn’t really matter who. Come on, let’s go for a walk.”
At the end of the lane, Lisette sees an elephant she knows well. “Look, Bobbi, here comes Popof. What if we lie to him?”
“Hello, Popof!” “Hey,” says Popof. “What are you up to?” “We’re going…we’re going…on a trip!” Lisette declares. “Lucky you,” says Popof. “Where are you going?”
“To the mountains,” says Bobbi, trying not to laugh. “Great! I’ll come with you.” “Huh? Well…good,” says Lisette. “Oh no, what are we going to tell him now?” Bobbi whispers. “I don’t know…let’s just tell him we’ve arrived.”
Lisette’s Lie
Lisette and her friend Bobbi the lizard have never told a lie. But they’re eager to try—it might be fun! So they tell Popof they’re off to the mountains. Popof decides to come too, and they realize they’ll have to make a mountain. And then a lake... It’s fun making up lies! Lisette’s LIE Catharina Valckx
