I Cannot Tell a Lie

l Cannot Tell a Lie When George was six years old, his father gave him an axe. George chopped many things with his shiny new axe. In his family's backyard was his father's favourite tree. One day, young George cut down the tree. Soon after, his father saw the poor dead tree. He was sad and also very angry. He called his son and asked, " Do you know what happened to my cherry tree?"

我不能说谎 乔治六岁时，他父亲给了他一个斧头。乔治用他闪亮的新斧头砍了许多东西。 他家后院有一棵他父亲最喜欢的树。一天，小乔治砍倒了这棵树。不久，他的父亲看到了那棵可怜的死树。他很伤心，也很生气。他打电话给儿子，问道:“你知道我的樱桃树怎么了吗?”

George was frightened. He thought about telling a lie. But he changed his mind and cried, " It was I, Father. It was I who cut down your cherry tree! " George's father looked kindly at him. He hugged the boy. “ I am very proud of you, George. You were frightened. But still, you told the truth. You are worth more to me than a thousand cherry trees. "

乔治很害怕。他想过说谎。但他改变了主意，喊道:“是我，父亲。是我砍了你的樱桃树!” 乔治的父亲慈祥地看着他。他拥抱了那个男孩。“我真为你感到骄傲，乔治。你是害怕。 但你还是说了实话。对我来说，你比一千棵樱桃树更有价值。
