White lie is still a lie
Ever since the early age, we have taught that lying is wrong and hurts people including ourselves. Moreover, we also have educated that it is better to accept the consequences of my actions than to lie.

When they ran to save him but found no wolf, they became angry with him. And then when the wolf really came, no one troubled him. Lastly, the wolf attacked his sheep and also killed him. It was due to his own wickedness that he got the kill.
