Question

Andrew was a smart boy when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But sometimes he made wrong choices （选择）.

One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish. When he got to the market, he found that the killifish looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.

When he got home, his father found what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank （水槽） without saying anything first. The next day he said to his son, “Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father went on, “Well, I'm happy that you know how to save money. I also know you are good at watching things around you. But it's not right to be dishonest （不诚实）” From then on, Andrew's father often asked him to do some chores, like buying daily things and helping his uncle in his store.
