Hoax

A man in America is in big trouble with the police now. He rang the police to say that his son was inside a balloon that took off from his back yard.
Many big TV stations were interested in the story. There were police hellicpoters flying to try to save the boy. There were also many police cars involved in the operation. The story had live coverage on many TV stations for more than two hours. It was on many TV stations around the world too. It was on the front page of many newspapers around the world too.
During that time, someone said he saw something falling from the baloon. Everybody thought it was the little boy. They feared for the little boy's life.
Finally the balloon landed in a field but there was nobody inside.
Later on, the boy appeared. He said that he was hiding in the attic because he was afraid of his father. His father had shouted at him earlier on.
The police said they will charge the father and take him to court. The police were not impressed with the father's story. The father appeared on a famous American TV show and said he didn't tell a lie. It was all true. It was not a hoax.
Now the police are asking many people about this incident. They questioned the neighbours too in order to find out the truth about this story. They say that the story was too good to be true. After more than a week the mother admitted that it was a hoax. The whole thing was a big lie.
