The cat who ate the fish
An old fable tells the story of a man who went out fishing early one morning and caught the most beautiful, colorful fish he had ever seen. It weighed six pounds.
He hurried immediately toward home and burst into the house to show his wife. “Isn’t it beautiful?” he said. “I’ve never caught a finer fish! I’m going to cook us all a wonderful meal tonight.”
The man left the fish in the corner of the kitchen and went to work. But as the day wore on, his wife began to get hungry. She tried to ignore her hunger (and the large fish in the corner), but she only got hungrier. Just the thought of how delicious that fish would taste made her mouth water. Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore.
She snatched the fish and tossed it into the frying pan, rocking back and forth on her heels and toes as it cooked. When it was cooked, she sat down and ate it until every last bite was gone.
When the man came home, the fish was gone. “Oh!” his wife said, pointing accusingly at the cat. “That wicked cat got into the kitchen this afternoon and ate the whole fish!”
The man seized the cat, and the woman thought he was going to kill it. Instead the man plopped it down on the kitchen scale. The cat weighed five pounds.
With a twinkle in his eye, the man said, “A cat who ate my fish should not weigh less than the fish!”
Both knew it was a lie.
Dishonesty seems to be an easy way out of some situations, but it’s usually a trap. One dishonest act usually leads to another. One lie needs a second lie to cover it up. And the truth has a way of coming out in the end. Usually, the whole mess just leads to discovery – and embarrassment. And shame. And guilt.
Proverbs 11:3 says Good people are guided by their honesty; treacherous people are destroyed by their dishonesty.
Prayer:
Dear God – We know that dishonesty is a trap. Please deliver us from it’s dangers and be guided by honesty.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
