"Liar" joke

A young loiterer from Wuling was known as a notorious liar. One day he fell in with an old man in the marketplace. "I've heard that you are a great liar," said the old man. "Just show me how good you are at lying. " "Oh, I have no time for that right now," replied the young man. "I've just heard that they have drained the East Lake and everybody has gone there to catch soft-shelled turtles. I'm going there myself to catch some." Believing him, the old man made a beeline for the East Lake. There, what greeted his eyes was the boundless expanse of the waters of the lake. Then he realized that he had been taken in.
