Lies, lies, lies

This parable is about a man by the name of Tommy, see Tommy was one of those who did stuff the sneaky way. He would lie about things just to get what he wanted. For example one day he lied to his boss about why he didn’t come to work instead of him using one of his sick days he typed up a false doctor statement saying that he has and emergency heart attack.
Then he lied to his sister about being short on his car note because he had to pay the electric bill or something, so she would give in and pay his note for the month. He knew that these were the greatest skims but the worst thing Tommy could ever do is lie to his mother just because he was money hungry. On a Sunday morning he took a visit to her house and made up a quick lie about how he was going to get put out because he didn’t have $600.00 to pay his rent. Being his mother she gave in and paid it plus the late fee he claimed to have had, little did Tommy realized that he was about to get the most unspoken surprise of his life.
That Monday Tommy went to work with at least $1200.00 in his pocket; this was the money he had gotten from his mom and sister. While Tommy made a quick run to the bank his boss took a look over his doctors statement and realized that the number in the slip didn’t match the hospital he had called this was a felony that had been committed and he immediately called the police, about 15 minutes later he returned from his bank run and found 3 officers standing desk with their handcuffs ready to take him in, next his sister got a call from the car dealer who claimed that he owed $1500.00 on unpaid tickets, then she realized that he lied about the car it had been taken.
Finally his mom took a visit to his house just to see if he had been put out as see was about to enter she ran into his landlord who said that Tommy hasn’t been there in the last past 6 months. They all took a visit to Tommy’s cell where he wasn’t able to leave because his bond was outstanding plus he had to attend court to face false charging dealing with the hospital, Now he lost his job and both his mother and sister’s trust.

The moral of this parable is to never tell lies that you know aren’t necessary to tell because one day they are going to catch up with you and get you in lots of trouble.
