"Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka"

To Jack London country.
He wrote some terrific books.
There's one about an Indian who's a big liar, but really big!
He's such a liar that the villagers, fed up, say:
''Go. Come back when you stop lying.''
They send him off in a canoe and he travels for two years.
He comes home and everybody asks how his trip was.
He says: ''Great, I saw these huge machines rolling along going...
There were others that flew like this...
And there were these great big houses.''

They all look at him and say: ''As big a liar as ever!''
So they send him off in a canoe again, this time for good.
