When George was six years old, his father gave him an axe. George chopped many things with his shiny new axe.
In his family's backyard was his father's favourite tree. One day, young George cut down the tree. Soon after,
his father saw the poor dead tree. He was sad and also very angry.
He called his son and asked,“ Do you know what happened to my cherry tree?"
George was frightened. He thought about telling a lie. But he changed his mind and cried,“It was I,Father. It was I who cut down your cherry tree!"
George's father looked kindly at him. He hugged the boy.,“I am very proud of you, George. You were frightened. But still, you told the truth. You are worth more to me than a thousand cherry trees."
我不能说谎
乔治六岁时,父亲给了他一把斧头。乔治用他那把锃亮的新斧头砍了许多东西。
他家后院有一棵父亲最喜欢的树。一天,小乔治砍倒了那棵树。不久之后,他的父亲看到了那棵可怜的死树,他很伤心,也很生气。
他叫来儿子问:“你知道我的樱桃树怎么了吗?”
乔治吓坏了,他考虑过撒个谎,但他改变了主意,叫道:“是我,爸爸。是我砍倒了你的樱桃树!”
乔治的父亲和蔼地看着他,他拥抱了男孩。“乔治,我为你感到骄傲。你吓坏了,但是,你说的是实话。对我来说,你比一千棵樱桃树更有价值。”
