It seems
that everybody tells lies-well, not big lies, but what we call "white
lies". Telling white lies isn't that bad. Most of the time, people do it
because they want to protect a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Lying to
make someone feel good:
Often we
say something different from the facts to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}someone feel good. For example, your
friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You{#blank#}4{#/blank#}say, "Umm, this is delicious!"
