I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.
“Which one of you did this?”
We all looked down at the step. There was a child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very frightened. I hoped no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so afraid. 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 us 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 find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.”
I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.
He collected our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit(承认) to have done it, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish(惩罚) me!
“I did it.” My sister stepped forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was grounded for a month.
We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me.

Once there were five beggars(乞丐).One was English， one Turkish， one Greek， one was an Arab and one was Persian. 1. They promised to share what they had and help each other in difficult times.
2. They talked about what to do with it. At last they decided to buy something to eat.
“Let’s buy some grapes!”said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted “uzum”， the Arab“aneb”， the Greek “stafelea”，and the Persian wanted“angur”. They did not understand each other’s language very well. 3.
While they were fighting about how to spend the money， a stranger came along. He knew all the five languages. 4. After they told him， he said，“Give me your coin. I will buy what you want.”
He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. 5. They all asked for the same thing， but the word for“grapes”is different in different languages.
