說謊話的人
這是一則土耳其寓言,它告訴我們:總是說謊話的人,即使說了真話,也沒有人相信。
There was a lonely man in a small town. Most of he people in that town knew him because he was a liar. Before he became a loner(獨(dú)來獨(dú)往的人), he had once had a family and a good job. But he sometimes told small lies to his customers(顧客). Then, he started to tell big lies to both his customers and his family.
Because of this, he and his family face a lot of problems. He promised to be honest about his job, but he didn’t keep his promise(信守承諾). He lost his job. After that, his wife and children left him. He continued living in the same house alone. People in the town didn’t believe him.
One day, a fire started in his home. He ran out of his home and hurriedly went to the center of the town and shouted to the other people to get help. “My neighbor, please help me. My home is on fire(著火).”
Nobody believed him, so they didn’t go to his home to help him. His home burned down(燒毀)and he became homeless.
