I Can Not Tell A Lie
The Indian chief says to his son, "Son, you push-um
outhouse off-um cliff?"
His son says, "No, me no push-um outhouse off-um
cliff."
The chief says, "Son, me tell-um you story of Great
White Father, George Washington. Many moons ago, when
Great White Father was young boy, him chop-um down
cherry tree. Him father ask-um, 'Georgie, you chop-um
down cherry tree?' George say-um, 'Cannot tell-um lie,
Father. Me chop-um down cherry tree.' Him father say,
'Georgie bad, but Georgie honest, so you no get-um
punishment.'
Now I ask-um you again... you push-um outhouse off-um
cliff?"
His son says, "Yes, Father, me push-um outhouse off-um
cliff."
The Chief proceeds to give-um big wuping to his son.
The son says, "Father, Great White Father tell truth
and get-um off scott-free. I tell-um truth... why you
give-um me big wuping?"
The Chief says, "Georgie's father not sit-um in cherry
tree."
