I found a diamond mine!

My friends were middle class. A few times I had been to there home. Paul was an only child and his parents were already midlife when he was born. He had every latest toys and comics. In fact that's when I got introduced to reading comics. I quickly realize that I was poor! (More about that later) I had a good imagination that's for sure! So I came up with this story that made me very popular with my friends. "I found a diamond mine” I said to them one day. I learned about diamonds reading one of Paul's books one day as he showed me his shinny rock collection. "Yes” I said! "I was walking in the field and fell into this hole ".”There was a tunnel and I followed it and found these shinny rocks “!”I think they are diamonds”. I showed Paul the ones I was talking about in his book that he took to school every day. In actuality it wasn't all a lie! The city was installing new sour lines under ground for future development. The pipes were large enough for me to walk in standing up. One day I explored them. I went probably 30 feet but it was dark and I ran back. So now my friends were making plans to come over to my house to see the diamond mine on the weekend. That night I didn't sleep well. I was scared of being exposed and that they wouldn't be my friend anymore. The next morning I told them the hole had caved in and we couldn't get to it anymore. From that day I resolved that I would never lie again. Later in life I was to, learn that honesty is not the best policy
