father. One morning, when I was sixteen, dad told me I could drive him into a
faraway village called Mijas, on condition that (条件是).
I took the car to be serviced (维护) at a nearby garage.
I happily accepted (接受). I drove Dad into Mijas, and
promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., then got the car to the garage. Then I went
to a theatre. However, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two
hours late!
I knew Dad
would be angry if he found out I'd been watching movies. So I decided not to
tell him the truth. When l hurried there I apologized (道歉) for being late, and told him I'd
come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some big repairs. I' ll
never forget the look he gave me. "I' m
disappointed you decided to lie to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again.
"When you didn't turn up, I called the garage to ask if there were any
problems, and they told me you hadn't yet picked up the car." I felt
ashamed (羞愧) as I told him the real reason. A sadness
passed through dad as he listened carefully, "I'm angry with myself. I
realized I had failed as a father. I'm going to walk home now and think
seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it'
s eighteen miles!"
My
apologies were useless. Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, following
him all the way, but he walked silently.
It was
the most successful lesson I have never lied since.
