A fib
小小的谎言
I was six years
old, my sister, Sally Kay, was a submissive
three-year-old girl. For some reasons,
I thought we needed to earn some
money.
I decided we should
visited
the
neighbors,
offering
to
clean
houses
for
them
for
a
quater
cents.
Reasonable
as
our
offer
was,
there
were
no
takers.
But
one
neighbor
telephoned my mother to let her know
what Mary Alice and Sally Kay were
doing.
Mother had just hung up the
phone when we came first into the back
door
into
the
kitchen
of
our
apartement.
mother
asked,
were
you
two
going
around
the
neighborhood
telling
people
you
would
clean
their
houses?
Mother
wasn't
angry
with
us.
In
fact,
we
learned
afterwards
she
was amused that we had came up with
such an idea.
But, for some reason, we both denied
having done any such thing.
Shocked and
terribly hurt that her dear little girls could be
such
(
厚颜无耻的
)
liars
.
Mother
then
told
us
that
Mrs.
Jones
had
just
called
and
told
her
we
had
been
to
her
house
and
said
we
would
clean
it
for a quater cents .
Faced with the truth, we
admitted what we had done. Mother said we
have
fibed,
we
have
not
told
the
truth.
She
was
sure
that
we
knew
better.
She tried to explain why a fib
(
小谎
) hurt, but she didn't
feel that we
really understood.
Years later, she told us that the
lesson she came up with for trying
to
teach us to be truthful would probably have been
found upon by child
psychologists.
The
idea
came
to
her
in
a
flash,
and
a
tender-hearted
mother
told
us
it
was
the
most
difficult
lesson
she
ever
taught
us.
It
was
a
lesson
we never forgot. After
admonishing(
警告，劝告
) us,
mother cheerfully
begain preparing for
lunch. As we monching on sandwhiches, she
asked:
Would you two like to go to see
the movies this afternoon?
would
we
ever?
We
wondered
what
movie
would
be
playing.
Mother
said:
fatastic!
We
would
be
going
to
see
The
Matinee,
would
we
lucky?
We
got
bathed
and
all
dressed
up.
It
was
like
getting
ready
for
a
birthday
party.
We
hurried
outside
the
apartment,
not
wanting
to
miss
the
bus
that
would
take
us
downtown.
On
the
landing,
Mom
stunned
(
使震惊
)
us
by
saying,
we
objected.
do
you
mean?
Aren't
we
going
to
The
Matinee?
Mommy, you said
that we are going to the Matinee.
gathered us in her arms. I couldn't
understand why there were tears in
her
eyes.
We
still
had
the
time
to
get
the
bus,
but
hugging
us,
she
gently
explained this is a fib felt like.
true ,
don't
ever
want
to
fib
again
and
I'm
sure
you
don't
want
to
fib
again
either.
People must be able to believe each
others. Do you understand?
We assured her that we
understood. We would never forget. And since
we
had
learned
a
lesson,
why
not
go
to
the
movie
to
see
The
Matinee.
There
were
still
time.
Not
today.
Mother
told
us.
We
would
go
another
time.
That
is how over fifty years
ago, my sister and I learned to be truthful. We
have never forgotten how much a fib can
be hurt.
