Do you like use another lie to cover the first?

Here is a story. A participant in the long-distance race got his shoes filled with sand when he was crossing a beach. He had to stop to get the sand out hastily before he resumed running. Unfortunately a gain of sand remained rubbing the sole and became increasing telling so that each step meant a twinge of pain. Reluctant to halt and get rid of the sand, he continuted to run in spite of the pain until he could bear no more.He dropped out of the contest just a few yards form the finishing line. To avoid blam on a minor fault one may tell a lie. That adds a burden to a heavy heart and weighs it down. In the days to come he will have to fabricate one falsehood after another to cover the lie he told and the fault he committed. Thus he will never be able to free himself from lingering anxiety, worry and regret, to the ignorance that all his sufferings originate in only a grain of sand-the first lie he told.
