Asked for an explanation, he tells the teacher that his Mother is sick, and that he was sent to the drug store to get some medicine. The teacher checks on Bob's story through the druggist, who tells him that the boy was not there that morning. On his way home he sees another boy rescue a small child by dragging her from in front of an automobile. On the school grounds Bob describes the accident, but tells it as if he himself performed the rescue. One of the other pupils saw the same accident and denounces Bob in front of his friends. Bob soon acquires the reputation of being a chronic liar. Because of this, he is not invited to a party. Very much disturbed, he confides in his Mother. She advises him to admit his previous falsehoods and to promise always to tell the truth in the future. This he does, and is once more accepted as a desirable friend. An interesting object lesson that no parent or child should miss. 1 Reel Courtesy of NATIONAL FILM LIBRARY 4010 SCHOOL INDUSTRIES "A SCHOOL GOES INTO BUSINESS" is the subtitle of this film, which has the same characters as the other pictures of this series.
