Do animals lie?
My husband and I were walking in the woods the other morning and we saw a weed that had been pulled up by the roots and left lying in the trail. I said to my husband, "I wonder why they didn't…" and then I made a sound with my teeth and my lower lip that sounded something like "ffftttt" and flung my right hand out to the side.
