Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled(多皱的)or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away! I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, “Well, what do you think of my baby? Isn’t she beautiful?” what are you going to say? Is the time for the true? Of course not!

You look that proud father in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She’s really a beauty. She’s one in a million. She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell! She’s as beautiful as a picture.”

In English, this is a white lie. White lies don’t hurt people. They are not cruel(残忍的)or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don’t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don’t like at a friend’s house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don’t want to hurt someone. It’s important to be honest, but many people feel that being kind is sometimes more important.

Do you get or make your pocket money? Making and using your money in the right way or saving some for the future is important. It can make you hard-working and make your life colourful. It’s also good for your future. It’s easier to start these good habits when you’re young. You can start it now. But remember, you should start with something you like.

Meghan Coyle is a 12-year-old girl. She made more than $320 in two years by walking dogs after school.

“I’m a dog-lover. And I became a dog-walker two years ago. I really enjoy it and it always brings me fun. My mum never gives me pocket money, so I have to make money by myself. Lots of kids don’t know how hard it can be to have a job. It can be hard to keep customers happy. There were some days when it was raining and I wanted to stay at home, but I still went out with a dog,”Coyle said.“Start a business that you like.”First, you have to advertise(登广告).The easiest and safest way is to talk with neighbours and family friends. After you have the customers, keep them happy! Send cards to them during holidays. That always surprises them. Be always willing to do more than they ask. Try your best to keep them coming back.”

Is it a good idea to do some work in your free time to make pocket money? Now think about it and start your own business!
