0:14:07 > 0:14:09JET ENGINE ROARS

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Have you seen all this cool stuff? I'm going to learn karate!

0:14:54 > 0:14:58We could all do it together. Hi-ya!

0:14:58 > 0:15:02I don't think so, Monica. I'd rather go hiking or...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04What's this?

0:15:04 > 0:15:05A chess...?

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- A what?- Nothing. Let's get to class.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12A chess competition! You'll be entering that, Lara.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15You won a trophy for chess.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Oh... Um, did I?- Don't you remember that day in the canteen?

0:15:19 > 0:15:23We were talking about trophies we've won back home.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I've got three for canoeing.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Two for football.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Egg and spoon race.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Four for fancy dress.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Five.

0:15:34 > 0:15:40- SHE WHIMPERS - 'Think of something - quick!'

0:15:40 > 0:15:42One for chess.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- It's only a little trophy. - You've got to enter, though.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51The competition? Oh, no, Akira. I can't.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Why not? Too good to play against us, is that it?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Well, I can play chess. I know all the moves.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03We'll take you on, Lara, trophy or no trophy.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07First question - you've told a little lie.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Do you, A, forget it -

0:16:10 > 0:16:14nobody's perfect, but try not to do it in future?

0:16:14 > 0:16:19B, confess right away and hang your head in shame?

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Or C, give yourself a pat on the back?

0:16:23 > 0:16:28All you did was make yourself feel good and no-one got hurt, right?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31This is very serious, Gabriel.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Where were you when the bag was stolen?- The locker room, Miss.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- But neither of you saw anything? - The thief was very quick.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44We were just talking and when we turned around,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Gabriel's bag was gone.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51- What was in it? - Um, my phone and some other stuff...

0:16:51 > 0:16:54My homework...

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh, and an apple.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00- He was going to have that with his lunch.- Lunch, yes!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Very well.

0:17:04 > 0:17:09I'll look into it. Get to your lessons.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11HE WHIMPERS

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Ooh - the queen's gambit.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16The queen's what?

0:17:16 > 0:17:21Hi, Lara. Dion and I are practising for the competition.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Want to join us? - Don't be silly, Monica.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Lara doesn't need practice - she's a champion, remember?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Um, the thing is...I can't play.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I've, uh...got work to do.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Too late! We've entered you in the competition.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42- You did what?!- Why not? It's time you showed off your skills a bit.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Akira's right.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48Anyway, a good player is always willing to learn from the best.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- I'm hoping you can improve my game. - SHE WHIMPERS

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- I'm getting a drink.- I'll come too.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Dion, I can't enter.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00I don't know anything about chess.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Really, Lara? You'll have to do better than that.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09- What do you mean?- Pretending you're no good so the rest of us relax.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Then you can beat us easily.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13SHE WHIMPERS

0:18:15 > 0:18:19'OK, so rooks go up and down.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21'Bishops go diagonally.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25'Knights go...this way.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28'Why don't I just tell everyone the truth?

0:18:28 > 0:18:32'Come on, Lara - you can do this. Opening moves...

0:18:32 > 0:18:34'Pawn to E4.'

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Pawn to E4.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Uh...yes.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48No. Wait... Uh, knight to F6.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53HE WHIMPERS

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Um...

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Oh, no!- What? Did I do something wrong?

0:18:58 > 0:19:02I have to go! I resign - you win!

0:19:02 > 0:19:04What?!

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Tony, the police are here! The teacher must have rung them!

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Calm down. - But they'll know we're lying.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Not if we stick to our story.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Your phone, your homework and an apple.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Why an apple? I don't even like apples!

0:19:24 > 0:19:29I told you - little details like that make the story more convincing.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Oh, you're so much better than me at this.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36Relax! What are you worrying about? It was only a little lie.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39HE WHIMPERS

0:19:40 > 0:19:46Don't be sad, Akira. It was just bad luck you got to play Dion.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50She's right, Akira, and no-one can be good at everything.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52I know. He beat me easily.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55But you're the one who should be nervous.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57You're playing Lara next.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01So what? I'm not scared.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Akira, there's something I have to tell you.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- When I said I won that trophy... - TEACHER CLEARS THROAT

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Atencion a todos. Can I have your attention, please?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16We have a problem with security at the school.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Gabriel's bag has been stolen. - Oh, no!

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- The thief took his phone and his homework.- And an apple!

0:20:24 > 0:20:26And an apple.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30HE WHIMPERS So, please can you all

0:20:30 > 0:20:35check your belongings to make sure nothing else is missing.

0:20:35 > 0:20:41Are you OK, Gabriel? I was saving this, but you have it.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Second question.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48So your little lie has grown into a great big one.

0:20:48 > 0:20:55Do you A, quietly confess before any more damage can be done?

0:20:55 > 0:21:01B, loudly confess to the whole world and beg everyone's forgiveness?

0:21:01 > 0:21:06Or, C, tough it out? You're good at this -

0:21:06 > 0:21:10an even bigger lie might get an even better result.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Yes, I got the new socks. Thanks.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Er, sorry, Mum. I can't talk now.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21- SHE GASPS - Gabriel - you were using your phone!

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Oh, Lara...- But I thought...- Lara!

0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Huh?- Lara, please don't tell.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29What's going on?

0:21:29 > 0:21:34I didn't do my homework and I couldn't think of an excuse

0:21:34 > 0:21:35so, um...

0:21:35 > 0:21:41You mean there's no thief? You made it up? But that's terrible!

0:21:41 > 0:21:46Don't be like that. Everyone believes the story. What's the harm?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Are you going to tell on us, Lara?

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Come on, Lara. Don't tell me you've never told a lie.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Does anyone mind if I resign this game?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02I do!

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Ha-ha-ha! Lara's teasing you, Monica. She can't resign.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Why not?- Because she's just won.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Checkmate.- Huh?

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Hmm.- And she did it without even looking at the board.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20- But... But I... - I'm playing you in the final, Lara.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- I can see that I'll have to raise my game.- Oh...

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Oh... Oh...

0:22:28 > 0:22:30SHE WHIMPERS

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Argh!

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Don't tell me you've never told a lie!

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Argh!

0:22:45 > 0:22:51Urgh... Ooh! Don't panic, Lara. It's nearly over.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54One more game to play and all you have to do is lose.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02- He doesn't stand a chance. - 'Hm. Unusual move.'

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Hm.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05Ooh.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10'What's she doing now? This must be a trap.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12'Oh, I've lost already!

0:23:12 > 0:23:15'No, don't panic.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16'Ooh!

0:23:16 > 0:23:21'That move doesn't even make sense. How do I play against that?'

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Ooh...forget it. I resign!

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Lara is the winner. Our champion.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- ALL:- Lara! Lara! Lara! - Don't be like that.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Everyone believes the story. What's the harm?

0:23:36 > 0:23:37No!

0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's not true! I'm not the winner.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43I haven't played a single game.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Which is just as well, because I don't know the rules.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50I never won a trophy for chess or anything else.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I was lying.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56The trophy belongs to Dion. I'm really sorry.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Hm?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Yay!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12We didn't mean any harm, Miss.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15It just sort of got out of control.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16Sorry, Miss.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Very well. It seems you've learned your lesson,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23so this time, I'll forget about the whole thing.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25What will you tell the police?

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Police? Oh. They've been giving a talk

0:24:29 > 0:24:31to the younger ones on road safety.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Did you think they were here about the robbery?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37TONY LAUGHS WEAKLY

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Final question.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44You've made a complete fool of yourself by telling a lie.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Do you A, shrug it off?

0:24:47 > 0:24:51You're older and wiser and you didn't mean any harm.

0:24:51 > 0:24:57- B, take a vow of silence...- Sh! - ..so you can never lie again?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Or C, take acting lessons

0:25:00 > 0:25:04so next time you lie so brilliantly, you'll never be found out?

0:25:04 > 0:25:09If you answered mostly A's, you may have done a bad thing

0:25:09 > 0:25:12but that doesn't make you a bad person.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15If you answered mostly Bs,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18chill out - you paid the price by looking foolish.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's better to put it behind you.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23And if you answered mostly Cs,

0:25:23 > 0:25:27well, lying isn't really the way out of anything.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Trouble is, the truth always comes out in the end.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34So, Gabriel, did you hand in your homework?

0:25:34 > 0:25:39I tried to, but I was on my way to school and a big dog ate it.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43- SHE TUTS - Oh, Gabriel.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45But... But...
