"I Didn't Do It!" Billy was in big trouble. The day before, a donor had given the school a painting with a sports theme. It showed a referee congratulating two athletes. The principal had hung the painting in front of the office, hoping that it would be a stimulus for students to play sports. The next morning, however, the painting was destroyed. There was graffiti on it, and it had many holes in it. The worst part was that one of Billy's fellow students had said she thought she saw Billy do it! But Billy didn't do it. The principal called Billy's parents and said, "Billy won't tell us the truth. He's a chronic liar, and he ruined the painting. If you don't pay for it, we'll terminate his education here." Billy's parents didn't have enough money to pay for the painting and for his tuition. But Billy's parents had an idea. That afternoon, they went to see Mr. Meyers, an attorney. "Mr. Meyers, my son has been implicated in a crime." he says he didn't do. Billy's father said. "Everybody believes the gossip. Even some of our own kin think he did it!" "I believe you. My suspicion is that the tape from the security cameras will show who really did it," said Mr. Meyers. The next day, Mr. Meyers received a packet with the videotape from the school. It showed another student who resembled Billy walking up to the painting and writing on it. Then the student took a knife by the shaft and started to stab large holes in it. Finally, he severed the rope that held up the painting, and it fell to the floor. Mr. Meyers showed the tape to the principal. "Clearly, that's not Billy." he said. "This boy is actually responsible and needs some discipline." Billy was happy that someone believed him, He said to Mr. Meyers, "When I graduate and go to university, I will major in law so I can be a guardian of justice like you!"

“不是我干的！”比利遇到了大麻烦。 前一天，一位捐赠者给学校捐赠了一幅以体育为主题的画。 画面上是一名裁判在祝贺两名运动员。 校长把这幅画挂在办公室前面，希望它能刺激学生们运动。 然而，第二天早上，这幅画被毁了。 上面有涂鸦，上面有很多洞。 最糟糕的是，比利的一个同学说她认为她看到比利做了这件事！但是比利没有这么做。 校长打电话给比利的父母说：“比利不肯告诉我们真相。 他是个老骗子，他毁了这幅画。 如果你不付钱，我们就终止他在这里的教育。” 比利的父母没有足够的钱来支付他的画和学费。 但是比利的父母有一个主意。 那天下午，他们去见了律师迈耶斯先生。 “迈耶斯先生，我儿子涉嫌犯罪” 他说他没有。比利的爸爸说。 “每个人都相信流言蜚语。 就连我们自己的亲戚也认为是他干的！”“我相信你。 我的怀疑是，监控录像会显示谁是真正的凶手，”迈耶斯说。 第二天，迈耶斯先生收到了学校寄来的装有录像带的包裹。 照片显示，另一个长得像比利的学生走到画前，在画上写字。 然后，学生拿起一把刀，开始在刀柄上刺出大洞。 最后，他割断了支撑这幅画的绳子，画掉到了地板上。 迈耶斯先生把录像带给校长看了。 “很明显，那不是比利。” 他说。“这个男孩很有责任心，需要一些管教。” 比利很高兴有人相信他，他对迈耶斯先生说：“等我毕业上大学时，我要主修法律，这样我就能像你一样成为正义的捍卫者！”
