A short story about a white lie.

1 .. It was a cold night and Mrs. Lutz was about to close the door of her retail store. Suddenly, a young man barged in and paid 50 dollars for a hot dog and a glass of milk.

At the moment when she took the bill, Mrs. Lutz concluded that it was a counterfeit bill. She glanced at the young man. He hung his head and looked out. Mrs. Lutz asked calmly, "Can I exchange it?"

The young man began to get nervous and flustered, and his head hung low. He mumbled for a long time and said, "no, madam, I ... I really want a hot dog." I haven't eaten all day. " Mrs. Lutz thinks this is a child who has not completely lost his sense of shame. For such a child, perhaps the warmth of a piece of bread is far more powerful than a reprimand. Thought of here, Mrs Lutz no longer hesitate, immediately changed.

When the young man turned to leave, Mrs. Lutz suddenly let out a cry and staggered past with her hands over her chest. The young man was frightened and quickly stepped forward to help the old man. "Quick!" Mrs Lutz put 50 yuan's counterfeit money into the young man's hand. "Go to the opposite clinic to buy medicine and tell her that Mrs. Lutz is ill."

After the young man left, Mrs. Lutz quickly grabbed the phone and called the clinic, which was opened by her brother. Mrs. Lutz said on the phone, "If a young man comes to buy me medicine, just give him medicine for thirty or forty dollars. Moreover, he has a counterfeit bill of fifty yuan in his hand. " Putting down the phone, Mrs. Lutz prayed silently that if he is really a caring and responsible child, he will definitely come back. After a while, the phone call from the clinic came and told Mrs. Lutz that the young man had left with the medicine without using counterfeit money. Mrs. Lutz breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that she had not deceived herself.

That night, the young man stayed with "sick" Mrs. Lutz. After dawn, Mrs. Lutz thanked the young man for "saving" herself and tried her best to keep the young man who was leaving and let him look after the retail store for a few days.

A few years later, that small shop became a supermarket, and the supermarket had a sub-supermarket. The young man was a white man who made a fortune in American retail.

On that snowy night, Mrs. Lutz used a white lie to get White to accept her help without losing her self-esteem.

There is a student who is not very good at long-distance running, but in an exam, the teacher told him that the speed of long-distance running is faster than other students, and that he had the opportunity to participate in the competition on behalf of the school and told him to work hard. The student was very excited after listening to the teacher's words, because he always thought that he had no talent for long-distance running and could actually participate in the competition on behalf of the school. From that day on, he really liked long-distance running and kept running every day. After a while, he was really chosen because he couldn't represent the school at all.

Once a teacher told a lie that he could predict the future for his students: you may become a mathematician in the future, he may become a writer, and which one has artistic talent ... In the guidance, edification, encouragement and shaping of the teacher, the children become diligent, sensible and studious. A few years later, a large number of students entered the university with excellent results, and the village became famous. People think that the old teacher can pinch and calculate and can perceive the future. In fact, the teacher's good intention is to plant a beautiful lie in the child's heart, just like planting a seed in the soil, which will eventually grow sturdily and blossom.

3. One day, while walking on the road, the mobile phone rang, and a young girl's voice came from the microphone: "Dad, come back quickly, I miss you so much!" Intuitively, I know it's a wrong number again, because my daughter's voice is too familiar to me. It is not surprising that such things happen these days. I said angrily, "Wrong number!" He hung up the phone.

In the next few days, this phone call came from time to time, which made me upset. Sometimes I refuse rudely, and sometimes I simply don't answer.

That day, this phone call came again and again. What is different in peacetime is that I have been making unremitting calls over there and didn't answer. I finally held back my temper and began to answer, but the girl's weak voice said, "Dad, come back quickly." I miss you so much! " Mom said there was nothing wrong with this figure. This is your mobile phone number. Dad, it hurts so much! Mom says you are busy at work and take care of me alone every day. I am exhausted. Dad, I know you have worked hard. If you can't come, will you kiss Niu Niu again on the phone? "I can't refuse the child's naive request. I kissed the microphone several times and heard the child's intermittent voice: "Thank you … Dad, I am so … happy, so … happy …"

Just as I gradually became interested in this wrong number, it was not a girl but a deep female voice who answered the phone: "I'm sorry, sir, I must have given you a lot of trouble these days." I am really sorry! " I want to call you to apologize after dealing with this matter. The child's life is very hard. She was born with bone cancer. Her father died in a car accident not long ago. I really dare not tell her the news. The daily chemotherapy and constant pain have tortured the child pitifully enough. When the pain was the most unbearable for her, she always shouted her father who had encouraged her to be strong. I really couldn't bear to see my child like this, so I just made up a mobile phone number that day ... "

"How is the child now?" I can't wait to ask.

"Niu Niu had already gone. You must have kissed her on the phone at that time, because she left with a smile, clutching the mobile phone that could hear the voice of' Dad' when she left ... "
