Question

Andrew was smart when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But sometimes he was wrong.

One day，his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish(金鱼).When he got to the market, he found the killifish(鳉鱼) looked like goldfish and 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(水箱) without saying anything at 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 continued，“I'm glad 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.” From then on, Andrew's father often asked him to do some chores，like buying daily things and helping his uncle in the store.

Several years later，Andrew became a successful businessman. When talking about the key to success, he said，“Thanks to my father, I got to know myself well and developed in a right way.”
