I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about astudent who studiedin Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure thathe was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask whythey didn't want him. The answer was simple. “We don't offer jobs to dishonestpeople in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easyto skip(逃票)buying subway ticketsin this country. So in order tosave money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caughtwithouta ticketmany times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com outsooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the bestrule.Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?

Once, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to climb to the tree top, ate the apples and played around it. With time on, the little boy grew up. He no longer played around it every day. One day, the boy came back, sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I am no longer a kid.” The boy replied, “ I need money to buy toys.” “I don’t have money...,but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy was so excited. He picked all apples and left happily. The boy never came back after that.
One day, the boy returned. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. We need a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches .” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. But he never came back since then.
Again, the boy returned and said. “ I want to make a navigation across the sea. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk(主干) to build your boat.” So the boy cut the trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. the only thing left is my dying roots.” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
