When I looked at the mark on my maths paper, my jaw (下巴)almost dropped to the ground: a big "65" in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible mark before.

When I got home that afternoon, I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn't come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her marks, so he didn't doubt my words.

A month later, Dad casually (随意地)asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my maths final. I had lied because I didn't want to let him down.

For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling-off (斥责)than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, "You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your Maths mark. No one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can't be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It's much easier to get a higher mark than rebuild someone else's trust in you." Dad's words touched my heart. I could not forgive (原谅)myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed it to him and apologized (道歉)sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me, but to those that truly care about me.

In one of Shakespeare's plays a character says, "No legacy (遗产)is so rich as honesty" After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.
