The boasting traveler. (Summer Fun).


A man had traveled far from home. When he returned he had wonderful tales to tell of the things he'd done. He told his neighbors that he had taken part in a jumping contest in London. He said he had won the contest with a wonderful jump that no one could beat.

"Just go to London and ask them," he said. "Everyone will tell you that it's true."

But one of the neighbors said, "Why should we travel to London? Let's just imagine that we are there, and you can jump for us now to prove that your story is true."
