I was bouncing a ball in the kitchen，and the ball bounced up and broke a cup. It was one of my mother's best cups，so I was afraid that she would be mad. I put the broken cup back on the table，and I didn't tell anyone that I had broken it. That night，my mother asked who had broken the cup. My brother said“not me”. My sister said“I didn't do that”. I said“I didn't break the cup”，but I was lying. My mother said that we would all be punished if someone didn't tell the truth and say who broke the cup. I still did not tell her that I had broken it. She gave us one more chance，and said that she wasn't mad about the cup，she just wanted us to be honest. I still didn't say anything. My brother，sister and I all got sent to our rooms. We had to stay in our rooms all morning. My brother said it wasn't fair. I felt very bad because my brother and sister were being punished because of me. I went wo my mother and told her that I had broken the cup. She said that she was not upset about the broken cup. She knew that it was an accident. She was disappointed in me because I hadn't come forward and told the truth. She said that she wouldn't have punished me if I had been honest with her. I told my brother and sister that I was sorry. I felt bad because they were punished because I was dishonest. I told my mother that I was sorry that I had lied to her. I told her that I had learned a lesson. Honest is the best policy. It is better to tell the truth. It is not a good feeling when people don't truth you. I had learned that lying just hurts people. Sometimes it is hard to be honest，but it is the best way to be.
