We all stared down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very 3 . I hoped no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I 4 , “Not me, Dad. ”
The others denied (否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us 5 have done it. But as the 6 and the smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the 7 .
To find out who had written on the 8 , father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to 9 exactly what you see on the step. ”
I tried my best to write the words 10 . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.
He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. “ Since 11 of you will
admit(承认) to have done it, then I will punish you all. ” I stood there and said 12 . The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!
“ I 13 it. ” My sister stepped forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was punished for a month.
We didn’t talk 14 that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry 15 it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me.

Long long ago, a king had a big rock placed in the middle of a very busy road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way to make it convenient for others. Some of the king’s wealthiest supporters came past and simply walked around it. Many others complained about the rock and some blamed the king for the problem. To the king’s surprise, no one did anything about moving it out of the way.
Finally, a poor farmer came along, carrying a load of old vegetables. When he saw the rock, he put down his load, and tried to move the heavy rock to the side of the road. No one stopped to help him. Many laughed at him and made jokes as they walked past. Finally, after much pushing and straining, and with no help , the farmer managed(设法) to get the rock to the side of the road. As he bent down to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a small bag lying in the road, exactly where the rock had been. There was a lot of money and a note in the bag. The note was from the king saying that the money was for the person who moved the rock out of the way.
Taking responsibility(责任) is about solving hard problems. The farmer takes responsibility when no one else is prepared to. It does not always mean that you will get an instant reward, but it is a value that builds up a community, and makes life better for all of us.
