Question

When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, Dad.” The others denied（否认）it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the truth.

To who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to exactly what you see on the step.”

I tried my best to write the words . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.

He our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit (承认) to have done it, then I will punish (惩罚) you and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to me.

“I did it.” My sister said she did something that she didn’t. Father grounded her for a month.
