如题所述
At 18, one morning, my father requested I drive him to a town located approximately 18 miles away. Fresh out of driving lessons, I eagerly obliged. We arrived at the town first, where I then took the car to a local garage for repairs and arranged to pick him up at 4 pm. With several hours to kill, I decided to catch a movie. Engrossed in the film, I lost track of time. It wasn't until the cinema closed at 6 o'clock that I realized my error. Anxious about my father's potential anger and the possibility of him never allowing me to drive again, I raced back to meet him, prepared with an excuse for my tardiness. His response remains etched in my memory. "I'm disappointed, Mike, that you feel the need to lie to me. I'm angry, not with you, but with myself. I've failed because I've raised a son who cannot even speak the truth to his own father. I'm going to walk home now and seriously reflect on where I've gone wrong all these years," he said, starting to walk down the road. I pleaded with him the entire way, following at a slow pace of 5 miles per hour for those 18 miles. It was a most unforgettable lesson, one that has steered me clear of lies ever since.
