It was the middle of third grade and I was not sure what had got into me. I lied about many things—I lied I had eaten all my dinner, when 41 I buried it in the trash can. I lied that I had 42 my bed, when clearly I had not. My lies were not 43 anyone, but for some reason I felt the 44 to tell lies on an impulse (冲动) that didn’t feel like my own. I was labeled(贴标签) a liar.
One day my 45 and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved it as she 46 us very much. And she was an 47 artist. She had cool pencils, erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to get her hands on. 48 it happened…someone 49 one of Aunt Kim’s good art erasers and rubbed it across the entire top of the TV. The eraser 50 the shiny finish on the TV’s casing. All the three of us were called into the TV room and asked to admit. 51 did! Aunt Kim told us how 52 she was.
The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents 53 they were on their way to picking me up. It 54 be me! I was the liar. I argued, but no one 55 . And then before dinner there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kid was standing there. It 56 that my younger sister finally felt guilty! She 57 that she was the one who rubbed the eraser on the TV. I was invited back!
A lie may 58 the present, but it has no future. No matter how big or small your lies are, 59 you are labeled a liar, earning 60 takes a lot of work and time.
