TRUTH CAME OUT AS SENSE BEATS CUNNINGNESS.

THERE WAS A VERY NAUGHTY BOY WHO ALWAYS GETS HIMSELF INTO TROUBLE AND ABANDONS HOME. WHENEVER HE WAS ARRESTED, HE WOULD TELL THE POLICE THAT HE WAS AN ORPHAN AND HE WOULD BE RELEASED. SOMETIMES, HE WOULD SPEND UP TO A WEEK IN THE POLICE CELL AND WHEN NOBODY COMES TO ASK AFTER HIM, HE WOULD BE SET FREE. BUT ONE SURPRISING THING ABOUT THIS BOY IS THAT HE ALWAYS DRESSED VERY WELL AND NEATLY TO THE AMAZEMENT OF THE POLICEMEN. THEN ONE DAY THE POLICEMEN DECIDED TO GET THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT HIM AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED FOR THE 9TH TIME. AFTER STAYING FOR TWO WEEKS IN THE POLICE CUSTODY, HE BECAME VERY HEALTHY BECAUSE HE WAS BEING FED THRICE DAILY WITH THE BEST MEALS AND REFRESHMENTS. THAT MORNING, HE WAS BROUGHT OUT OF THE CELL TO HAVE HIS BREAKFAST AS USUAL. THEN ONE OF THE POLICEMEN ANSWERED A PHONE CALL AND HE SAID TO HIS COLLEAGUES, "OFFICERS, I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THOSE RITUALISTS. I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THIS BOY TO THEM FOR THE RITUAL SINCE HE HAS NO PARENTS THAT WILL ASK AFTER HIM?. AND THEY ALL ANSWERED UNANIMOUSLY, "YOU ARE RIGHT. HE WILL BE THE PERFECT PERSON FOR THE RITUAL. THAT IS IT! WE WILL USE HIM." ON HEARING THE WORDS OF THE POLICEMEN, HE JUMPED UP AND SHOUTED, "NO SIR, NO SIR, I HAVE PARENTS. IF YOU DOUBT ME, I CAN TAKE YOU TO THEM NOW." AND THE POLICEMEN SAID, "NO, MY DEAR,YOU DON'T HAVE PARENTS. YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO STOP US FROM USING YOU FOR THE RITUAL. AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP US." THE BOY BEGAN TO CRY AND SWEAR SAYING, "I SWEAR TO GOD OFFICER, I HAVE PARENTS." HE BEGINS TO DESCRIBE HIS PARENTS AND THEIR HOUSE ADDRESS. THEY TOOK HIM HOME AND HIS PARENTS WERE ALL ARRESTED.
