How to stop kids not to reveal inside matters outside?
I observed a couple and their 6 years old daughter who reveals their family matters outside. As it can happen with anyone including me, I was looking for your opinion to handle it better.
The family I'm talking about are so generous. But their neighbor take the advantage of that. They borrow small things (like craft materials) from the couple and either not return it or damage it. The worst thing is they send their kids to borrow things. However, now the couple has started denying on few things by mentioning that they don't have it.
Unfortunately, their daughter reveal this thing outside. And the couple feel embarrassed. They've explained a plenty of time to their daughter not to do this. But she repeats.
What should we do in this situation?

In addition to what @paul -johnson suggested, I've made a game to understand how well my daughter can handle such situations and can improve with each play. This game can be different for different ages.
In this game, we've made 2 families and form the same situation I asked in the question. In my family (My daughter and I), we have a limited number of resources and we have to finish a school project in 3 days. Members of other family come to her and ask for some resources and the game go on based on her response. She wins if she handles everyone properly and finishes the project as well.
I was wondering if I can make some card game for elder kids.
From what I've read, children of that age simply cannot understand what "private" means. They are also constantly told by adults that lying is bad, but then see the same adults telling lies.
The only options are to avoid letting the children see the lie, or to tell the truth and accept the consequences.
