Combining a retelling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" with a modern story about fibbing, this excellent Sesame Street entry shows viewers the problems Telly creates for himself when he lies to his friends and says his uncle Tommy (Dennis Quaid) is the ringmaster at a circus. The program allows children to explore the reasons people don't always tell the truth (or downright exaggerate) and the consequences one can suffer for lying like a rug. Highly recommended.
