11 - Liar, Liar
ia is bragging about her new doll to Shikha, explaining how fancy it is and how it can do a lot of things. When Shikha says that she saw the
same kind of doll at Toys 'R'Us, Ria lies about getting it from the world's biggest toy store! What happens when Ria gets caught in her own lies....
(Ria is holding a doll and Shikha walks up to her)
Ria:
Hi, Shikha.
Shikha:
Hey Ria, is that a new doll?
Ria:
Yeah, my parents just bought it for me.
Shikha:
I saw one just like it at Toys 'R'Us.
Ria:
(Looks down at Shikha) Oh well, my doll is not from Toys 'R' Us. My family went to New York City for a wedding and we bought this doll from the best toy store in the world!
Shikha:
It sure looks like the doll I saw at Toys 'R' Us. I asked my parents to get it for me, but they said I'd have to wait until my birthday.
Ria:
I don't have to wait until my birthday to get toys. My parents buy me things whenever I ask for them. Like this doll. It's a one-of-a-kind doll.
Shikha:
What's so special about it?
Ria:
It cries "Mama" when you put it down.
Shikha:
So does the doll from Toys 'R'Us.
Ria:
Well, my doll comes with her own hairbrush and mirror.
