"The sheep all died, and the boy never lied again," Debra said. "Are you comparing yourself to the boy?"
Andrew sensed her lingering frustration but remained calm. "This story is meant to teach children not to lie, but I want to show you how to deceive the enemy."
Debra's brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"
"When a person lies too often, it becomes impossible for others to discern the truth," Andrew explained. "Take my supposed weakness, for example. You never know when I might die. The first time I fell seriously ill, you believed me. But it was all a show. The second time, you were suspicious. After observing me, you concluded I was acting again, only to find out it was another layer of deception. By the third time, I played a smaller trick to convince you I was truly on the brink of death. You trusted me once more, only to discover I was orchestrating something far greater. Each time, you couldn't fully grasp my intentions. This blend of truth and lies will confuse your enemies."
Debra recalled the three times he had feigned grave illness. She realized, with a sinking feeling, that he had anticipated her every move and every thought.
Andrew, seeing the understanding dawn on her face, continued, "So, if I fall ill again, will you believe it or not?"
