When Herbert was young, he often made a face at class. So he fell behind in his studies. One day, he failed to pass an English exam. The boy and his father sat face to face. Herbert fabricated an excuse to escape punishment. He said, "The temperature that day was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I fainted in the classroom." His voice became faint. His strength seemed to fade after telling the lie. But his plan fell through. His father looked at him, "We are not going to fall out over this, are we? Your words didn't fall in with the truth. In fact, I have fallen in with your teacher today. It is wrong to fall back on lies. As a matter of fact, one must face up to the failures of his life. Ability, health and honesty are factors of succeeds." To facilitate communication, the father told the son a fable about a puppet. Herbert could not remain calm in the face of the truth. He swore to be honest for evermore. He was faithful to his promise. Furthermore, he found he had the faculty to learn languages easily. So after his college life, he joined the faculty of a famous university. There were 5 faculties at the university. The university repaired the fabric of the Teaching Buildings every year. Every telephone was installed a callback facility. Modem educational aids would be used with great facility. The first time Herbert got his salary, he bought a fine fabric for his mother. |
