华盛顿与樱桃树
When George was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping everything that came his way.

One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea sticks, he found a beautiful, young English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.

Some time after this, his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything about it.

Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the room.

"George,'' said his father, "do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have taken five guineas for it!''

This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he cried:

"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet.''

The anger died out of his father's face, and taking the boy tenderly in his arms, he said:

"My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees! Yes - though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!''

It
is
true
that
most
of
us
value
honesty
highly.
However,
nowadays
we
often
confront
confidence
crisis
such
as
cheating,
overcharging,
fake
commodities
and
so
on.
I
think
that
we
should
be
honest
because
being
honest
is
not
only
beneficial
to
ourselves
but
also
to
others
and
the
whole
society.
The
reasons
can
be
listed
as
follows.Firstly,
only
honest
people
can
be
truly
respected
by
the
others
and
can
make
more
friends
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Secondly,
honesty,
which
is
the
traditional
virtue
of
the
Chinese
people,
can
make
our
life
easier
and
more
harmonious.
For
example,
consumers
will
not
be
afraid
of
being
overcharged
if
dealers
are
honest,
and
thus
dealers
can
win
over
more
customers.
Thirdly,
honesty
can
make
our
society
more
stable.
A
case
in
point
is
that
Singapore,
a
society
featuring
trustworthiness
and
integrity,
has
a
comparatively
low
criminal
rate.
It
goes
without
saying
that
being
honest
is
of
great
benefit
to
both
the
community
and
individuals.
There
is
no
doubt
that
we
should
foster
the
spirit
of
honesty.
In
conclusion,
laying
stress
on
honesty
will
become
the
public
morals
in
our
society

华盛顿与樱桃树
When
George
was
about
six
years
old,
he
was
made
the
wealthy
master
of
a
hatchet
of
which,
like
most
little
boys,
he
was
extremely
fond.
He
went
about
chopping
everything
that
came
his
way.
One
day,
as
he
wandered
about
the
garden
amusing
himself
by
hacking
his
mother's
pea
sticks,
he
found
a
beautiful,
young
English
cherry
tree,
of
which
his
father
was
most
proud.
He
tried
the
edge
of
his
hatchet
on
the
trunk
of
the
tree
and
barked
it
so
that
it
died.
Some
time
after
this,
his
father
discovered
what
had
happened
to
his
favorite
tree.
He
came
into
the
house
in
great
anger,
and
demanded
to
know
who
the
mischievous
person
was
who
had
cut
away
the
bark.
Nobody
could
tell
him
anything
about
it.
Just
then
George,
with
his
little
hatchet,
came
into
the
room.
"George,''
said
his
father,
"do
you
know
who
has
killed
my
beautiful
little
cherry
tree
yonder
in
the
garden?
I
would
not
have
taken
five
guineas
for
it!''
This
was
a
hard
question
to
answer,
and
for
a
moment
George
was
staggered
by
it,
but
quickly
recovering
himself
he
cried:
"I
cannot
tell
a
lie,
father,
you
know
I
cannot
tell
a
lie!
I
did
cut
it
with
my
little
hatchet.''
The
anger
died
out
of
his
father's
face,
and
taking
the
boy
tenderly
in
his
arms,
he
said:
"My
son,
that
you
should
not
be
afraid
to
tell
the
truth
is
more
to
me
than
a
thousand
trees!
Yes
-
though
they
were
blossomed
with
silver
and
had
leaves
of
the
purest
gold!''
