Agreed. I think that's my favorite part of the poem too. Stan is so fundamentally honest, nobody expects him to fib, so that's how he gets away with it on the extremely rare occasions he considers it necessary. And he won't lie to protect himself, but he will in cases like this where he felt the truth might have been unnecessarily harmful.

I think Hefty's assistance plays a key role in helping both boys to identify and communicate their feelings, so they can work out what's happening between them.

Stan never lied.
