The story told to all American children about honesty(誠(chéng)實(shí)) is about the cherry tree(櫻桃樹) that President George Washington cut when he was a boy．When his father returned home, he asked George if he knew anything about who cut the tree down．George replied, "Father, I can not tell a lie．It was I who cut down the cherry tree．"

In China, every child knows the story of Lei Feng, the young soldier who helped everyone and was very honest．The stories of George Washington and Lei Feng help us understand the importance of being honest．

Every teacher wants his or her students to be honest．If every student can be honest in their childhood, they will be honest when they become adults(成年人)．The country will then be known as an honest country and it will be respected(尊敬，尊重) by everyone．

Usually, it is the father and the mother who give the first lessons of honesty．George Washington learned honesty from his father．

A favorite Chinese story is about a young man who went to the market to buy food for his mother．There was a very young girl there who was selling flowers．The young man was asked to see and smell one flower and when the girl served another person, the young man stole the flower．

When he went home, he began to think what he had done．He went back to the market to see the girl．He told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to pay for the flower．

The little girl refused and said, "You do not need to pay for the flower, elder brother．Since you took it I thought you had a reason to take it．So I did not worry, about receiving money for it．"

The young man was ashamed(羞愧) that he stole the flower．He never forgot the kind-hearted peasant girl．To him it was a strong personal lesson and he could never forget about the importance of being honest．

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.

“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
