In a small town in France,there was a farmer who lived alone.Every day he sold a pound of butter to his neighbour,who was a baker,One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound.After he weighed it,he found that he wasn't.The baker then took the farmer to the judge (法官).
The judge asked the farmer if he had any way to weigh the butler.The farmer replied."I am so poor that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it,but I do have a kind of scale(天平)." The judge asked,"Then how do you weigh the buttery" The farmer replied,"Before the baker started buying butler from me,I had bought bread from him.So now every time when I bring home the bread from the baker,I put it On the scale and give him the butter of the same weight,"
We get back what we give to Others in life.Whenever you take action,ask yourself this question ,"Am I honest?"
Honesty or dishonesty can become a habit.Some dishonest people can lie(说谎) without a red face.Others lie so much that they do not even know what the truth is any more.But who is it bad for?As a matter of fact,those who lie will hurt themselves by their own dishonest behaviour.
In a small town in France,there was a farmer who lived alone
在法国的一个小城镇,有一个独自生活的农民.每天他都会卖给他的一个做面包师的邻居一磅的黄油.有一天这个邻居想要称一称这个黄油,看看到底是不是有一磅.他称完发现根本不到一磅.然后,这个邻居就把那个农民带去见法官了.
法官问这个农民他自己平时有没有办法称一称卖出去的黄油.农民说:“我太穷了,买不起称,但我有一个类似天平一样的东西.”法官问:“那你是怎么称的?”农民说:“在我卖给我的这个邻居黄油之前,我从他那里买过面包.所以现在每次我从他那里买完面包,我就把它放在天平的一端,然后另一端放上要卖给他的黄油.”
我们再想想生活中我们给予别人的.每当你想要质疑他人时,请扪心自问:“我自己是否诚实?”
诚实或不诚实可以成为一种习惯.一些不诚实的人说谎都不会脸红.另一些人谎说的太频繁了以至于他们也根本分不清什么是真实什么是谎言.那么谁会受伤害呢?事实上,那些说谎者会被他们自己的不诚实行为所伤害.
