They were twin brothers but were very, very different and their story involved some pretty big lies with some devastating consequences...

A lie can spread and then that can get others into trouble. It is always better to tell the truth even if you might get into trouble. Even a little lie can lead to big trouble. Truth is always the better choice. ##### Mr Mackley *21 June 2021* You are so right 4C, Jacob caused so many problems with his lies. It's not always easy to tell the truth, sometimes we get tempted to tell a 'little lie' in the hope that it will help us deal with something. It never works! ##### 5B *22 June 2021* If you don't tell the truth, you can feel awful in your tummy. Something bad may happen to you and you may lose the trust of people around you. God sees and hears everything you do, so you don't get away with anything. If you tell lies to gain something, it might feel good at the time, but later on you will feel guilty. ##### 6W *22 June 2021* We agree with what 4C said but would like to add that lies lead to more lies and whatever happens in the dark always comes to light - much like the difficulties Peter Parker faces when trying to hide his identity of Spiderman. ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
