fail plan

An army colonel was a very tough person. No soldier in his unit was given leave to go home at all.
All the soldiers were very sad about his behavior. But no one had the courage to oppose this.
In any case, according to military rules, one cannot oppose their officers in the army.
One day, three soldiers from this army,
After consulting among themselves, they prepared a plan to betray the colonel.
These three also did not get leave to go home for 2 years.
All three lied to get permission from the colonel to go home.
The colonel warned them before leaving that action would be taken against them if they did not return on time.
All three accepted the condition and left from there.
After passing some days,The time had come for the holiday to end. The three soldiers went to their respective homes and had a lot of fun.
They all forgot the condition of the colonel. All three were late for almost a day. They knew that now they would be punished.
Thinking so, all three of them again made a plan again, and they reached the camp for duty one by one.
The soldier who arrived first was ordered to present in front of the colonel.
The colonel asked why you were late?
The soldier said, "Sir, I did not get the bus."
So why didn't you come by taxi?
he said,Sir, he was coming by taxi. that broke down on the way. Then he came, by horse cart. The horse of the cart died on the way, so he was late.
The colonel said, "You are lying," and he sentenced him to lockup.
By then, both the other soldiers had also reached there, and both of them were also presented one by one in front of Colonel.
He asked the other soldier why he was late.
The soldier said that he had gotten the bus, but the bus broke down on the way.
From there, he went on a horse, but he died on the way, and he came on foot, so he was late.
The colonel informed him that another bogus store had been constructed, and he was ordered to be locked up alongside his friend.
Now the number of the third soldier came.
The colonel asked him Can you tell me why you are late?
You too Didn't you get a bus and a taxi too?
The third soldier said so politly that he was coming by taxi.
Then why did you come late?
Sir, the horses were dead on the way, and the road was closed, so he reached here on foot. That's why he was late.
The colonel beat his head in anger after hearing all those lies.
