in vain. The ants tried to teach her to be polite. But don't you understand? Darling said tat that if you don't like fruitcake, it's better to eat it anyway instead of hurting your hostesses feelings. But I don't like fruitcake. I know you don't Harriet. That's why I use that example. But fruitcake is horrible. I don't know anybody that likes it, and if I tell her I like it, she's just gonna keep on giving it to me. Yes, dear, but that's not the point. The poet is. If somebody has gone to the trouble to cook you something, it's good managed to eat it even if you don't want. The Bible says, Not the lie that's different. This is a white lie. The Bible's talking about another kind of life. The Bible doesn't say black or white lies. It just is lies. Believe me, Harriet, it's true. Jesus tells us not to lie, but that doesn't mean we have to be ruled to our hosts. Jesus doesn't say anything about our hostess. He says that lying is a sin. He says that the devil is a liar in the prince of Lies. But Jesus says, Love thy neighbor. Doesn't he said Libby inspired? That's right, said Tak. Gladly not. She hastened that anyone is trying to say your hostess necessarily lives next door to you. All love thy neighbor means is that you should eat what you're offered and be gracious about. I don't see why loving my neighbor means telling him I love fruitcake when I don't.
