That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    This proverb means that lying is useless because the liar will always fear to be exposed. Thus, it is better to be honest. By the way, we have a similar proverb in Austria: Lies have no feet.
