【原题重现】2022届浙江十校联盟读后续写-一美元的诚实
One Saturday morning when Susan went, as usual, to Thompson's hotel, to receive the price of her mother's washing for the guests, which amounted to five dollars, she found the hotelkeeper in the yard.
He was apparently in a bad temper with some dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear (骂骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy,he handed her a bank note. Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and then, pausing to pin the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked
around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is mine, all mine,” she murmured. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she realized that the hotelkeeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to it, as she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule — What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn't belong to you should not be accepted. But again the voice of temptation whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet,so it doesn't matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going
on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible.
