Dad is a liar(说谎者)certainly. He never tells the truth about anything bad, or anything that he thinks is bad to me, even though I’ve told him I don’t hearing these things. He’s the man I have ever met, who never hurts others, as well as the cruelest man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I phoned home from college and asked dad how his was getting on, he would always reply, “Oh, couldn’t be better!” When I asked mum the same question on the phone, , she honestly told me every with dad’s business. I didn’t blame(责怪) dad for his . Instead I showed concern(关心) for him.
Dad is a miser(吝啬鬼), undoubtedly. I hardly see dad wear clothes. In fact, his closet is half empty. Even in this half, two-thirds is used by mum’s clothes and the other one-third him. I begged him to buy some new clothes, but he simply shook his head, “ The old clothes are still good enough. ” Were they? I saw holes in them!
It tore my heart up when I saw dad cough terribly with his hand covering his mouth. When the pains（疼痛） became very serious, he took some medicine.
So it surprised when the day came that dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered(聚集) around him. I knelt（跪） by his bedside, tears filling my eyes.
Dear dad, you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, which you should not have. I know I might as well expect a river to flow backwards as hope to take you out of working so hard.
