Say Mean Matter
There is a monkey He is a liar He played tricks He saved the monkeys from the leopard They forgave the monkey There is a concerned aunt He likes to get attention
If you are a known liar no one will believe you People won’t trust you if you lie all the time If you are bored you need to make better choices to entertain yourself. You can get attention in a positive way.
You want to be a trustworthy person so people will trust you. If you lie all the time people won’t want to be your friend. If you do make a bad choice in life you should try to repair it or get their trust back.
Sample: Tricky Monkey (3rd)
