Description:
In this remake of Family Portraits #5, "You're Not Gonna Believe This!" Leslie is back. This time she gets into trouble because of her exaggerated stories-especially with a tale of how she gave her mother's new umbrella to a cowboy riding a purple fire engine. The catch? The cowboy story turns out to be true!

Questions:
What's the difference between exaggerating and lying? Is there a difference? Why didn't anyone believe Leslie's story about the cowboy and the purple fire engine? How can you learn to trust someone who has lied to you? How can you build back trust with someone you have lied to?
