A Politician (mythology)

In 6th grade students had to write a myth using a form of Serbian myths from Vuk Karadzic's book. One of them wrote about a mythological creature called Politician. I loved the fact that he said that that creature became from a child whose parents lied to him when he was little and then he stayed small but believes that he has grown, and he continued to lie, because he doesn't know anything else better. Also the student wrote that if you don't know if the politician is lying just look at his lips. If they're moving- he's lying!
