Conspiracies require more than one person on the deceivers end of the deception, and it helps if you're politician, although it's not a requirement. A conspiracy just means a bunch of people all decide to tell the same lie. Or, in the case of some families, decide not to say anything at all. Some deceptions are so small we call them little, as in little white lies. That means not being exactly honest with a person because it might hurt their feelings, although if they knew you were deceiving them it might hurt them more.
Deception is a tricky business.
His deception is to roll in a very muddy place and then float up to the hive holding onto a blue balloon so as to appear to be a small black cloud. When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you're coming. It is a very tricky deception for a bear with no brain. Unfortunately the bees become suspicious and Pooh becomes anxious. In the end Pooh decides that these are the wrong sort of bees and wishes to come down right away, but not too quickly, if you know what I mean.
