"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.

Each time, you couldn't fully grasp my intentions. This blend of truth and lies will confuse your enemies."
