This book is about Clifford, Cleo, and T-bone. They all go to play tag when suddenly Cleo cries out for help. However, when Clifford and T-bone got to her she was laughing and said "fooled you!" They tell Cleo that it is not funny and then they all three go off to swim in the pond. Clifford and T-bone jump in the water when again they hear Cleo yelling for help. Once again, when they get to her she is just laughing. Finally, Clifford and T-bone walk away and this time when Cleo yells for help they do not come to her rescue. The only problem is that this time she actually did need their help. The book goes on to show that if you always lie, when you are actually in trouble no one will believe you.
