This is trivia, not a riddle
A mother told her six-year-old daughter that her dog had been hit by a car and died. The little girl burst into tears. Half an hour later, the mother told her daughter the dog had not been hit by a car and was just fine. Why did the mother tell her daughter this? (and who was the daughter?)

This is reportedly a story about Shirley Temple and her mother. Apparently, the scene called for sadness and tears, so the mother lied to Shirley, making her cry.
