Yeah, here. So say you have a cart that you've had for years - one of the wheels refuses to stay on the cart after around thirty minutes of moving anywhere. But you wanna sell it, so.
You tell the person you're trying to sell to that the cart has served you really well. It's easy to hook up to a horse and just go, with. Those are both true, they just don't know about the wheel that falls off. Kind of lying by omission, almost.

But what would you say if the person you sold it to came back and asked if you knew about the wheel?
