One day a boy is told by a classmate that most adults have secrets, and an easy way to get money from them is to say, "I know the whole truth," even if that's not the case.
The boy decides to try the scheme at home, and says to his mother, "I know the whole truth." She quickly hands him P500 and says, "Not a word of this to your father."
Happy, the boy waits on the front steps for his father and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." His father peels off P1000 and says, "just don't tell your mother."
Next, the boy tries his luck wit the gardener. "I know the whole truth," he says as the gardener approaches the porch. The gardener drops to his knees, opens his arms and says, "then come give daddy a big hug."
