   Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but  36  important information that should be included, he can create a false  37  .

For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the  38  . It was great. I  39  that ticket back to the store and turned it in  40  one hundred dollars!”

This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then  41  I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a  42  . He was  43  a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false,  44  he left out important information  45  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically  46  , but they are just as dishonest.

Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this  47  . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her  48  lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another  49  . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s  50  . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s  51  the law to make false claims, so they  52  to mislead you with the truth. An ad  53  blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten  54  , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of  55  deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.
