LIAR

i watched a show last night in scv. it was about ...

this little boy, James who love transformer and would never miss any episode every Friday 6pm. his parents went overseas during that period, requested him to stay at his grandparents house after school. he would dread to go, arguing that he is able to take care of himself since he is already 10. but the truth was he scared he would miss the cartoon since, his grandparents house did not subcribe to cartoon network. he went of course, without a choice.

on monday when his parents came back, his father handed him a cartoon book which his father drew. it was the friday's transformer featured on cartoon network, he said, lying that he is able to watch it when he was overseas. James was extremely delighted, smiling for the first time after he came home.

now that James was 27 and on the night before his wedding, he saw the cartoon book which his dad drew for him. to James, this was probably the best present he has received from his father. because to him, his father took time and effort to watch his farvourite cartoon and draw it out as a keepsake for him.

he went to where his father was standing at the lawn, and said,"Dad, thanks for this. this cartoon book is such precious to me. did you really watched the entire hour of transformer and drew this?"

James's dad laughed, walked away.

James knew... it was not the same episode that he missed on tv that time. it was his dad imagination that kept James little 10 years old dream come true.

so... sometimes, lying is not always the bad thing afterall. even if it is a lie, it may be a blessing too.
