One day, when I was in college, a dishonest-looking character approached me in the student union with a leather jacket he wanted to sell. It was a beauty: buttery smooth cowskin, with artfully sewed lines and long leather fringes (穗).
I can’t remember what the price was, but it was apparently too little for such a jacket. Even as I paid the money that day, I knew something wasn’t right. Surely, a couple of days later, the jacket’s real owner, a student about my age came to me as I was on my way to class.
“That’s my jacket,” he said, “and I want it back.”
“No way,” I answered. “I paid for it, and I have no idea if it’s yours. It’s mine.”
He didn’t challenge me, and I left, but the uneasiness(不安) I had about my new possession now had a visible face. A few days later, riding my bike across campus, I saw the real owner standing on the sidewalk. I rode over, took the jacket off, handed it to him said I was sorry, and rode off without another word. More than the weight of the jacket had been lifted from my shoulders.
We’re all human, which means that sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do or say things we shouldn’t say. Sometimes we realize too late that our actions have been hurtful to somebody else. When these hard times occur, the best response --- the only response, really --- is, “I’m sorry.”
Admitting a wrongdoing, as soon as possible and frankly, helps the other person begin to heal. But just as important, it cleans up our own soul and sets us free.
That is a small price to pay for a clear conscience

　　A man came home from work late，tired and irritated(生气的，不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

　　“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

　　“Yeah sure, what is it?”replied the man.

　　“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

　　“That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said angrily.

　　“I just want to know. Please tell me，how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy.

　　“If vou must know, I make $20 an hour.”

　　“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,“Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”

　　The father was furious(生气的),“If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.“Are you asleep, son?”He asked.

　　“No, daddy, I'm awake,”replied the boy.

　　“I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,”said the man.“It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation(怒气) on you. Here's the $10 you asked for.”

　　The little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh. thank you, daddy!”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(皱皱巴巴的) up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

　　“Why do you want more money if you already have some?”the father grumbled.

　　“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,”the little boy replied.

　　“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
