When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was ___36___ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my ___37___. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re 　38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ___39___ ……”

He didn’t finish the ___40___, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was ___41___. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.

Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ___42___ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ___43___ in the future. And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this ___44___.

　 But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my ___45___ in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ___46___ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ___47___ of his knowledge and it would have been ___48___to other students. How could I ___49___ give a student a gift of an unearned grade?

　 I know ___50___ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ___51___ too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up ___52___ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ___53___enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.

　 Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ___54___ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ___55___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

Mini called him loudly but when he looked at her，she ran away, 32 . Shortly after this, the two became friends. They started to 33 together, laughing and talking. Mini’s new friend would give her sweets and nuts, 34 the little money he had on her.The Cabuliwallah, called Rahmum, would joke: “Well, little one, when are you going to the father-in-law’s house?” Mini did not understand this and was 35 .

One morning, I heard noise in the street, and saw Rahmum being led 36 by the police. There were bloodstains on his clothes. I gathered that a neighbor had 37 Rahmum money for a shawl (披肩)but had falsely 38 having bought it, and that in the course of the quarrel Rahmum had struck him. On a charge of murderous attack, Rahmum was 39 to jail.

Time passed, and he was not remembered. Mini grew up and we were making 40 for her wedding. I was sitting in my study when someone entered.

The two were 46 but Mini had grown up. She now understood the meaning of the word “father-in-law,” and when he made this joke once more she was 47 in the face at the question. He could not revive(还原) their old friendship.

When Rahmum left, I gave him a bank note, saying:“Go back to your own daughter, and 48 the happiness of your meeting bring good fortune to my child! ”

Having made this present, I had to 49 the electric lights and the military band I had 50 for the wedding and the ladies in the house were disappointed. But to me the wedding feast was all the brighter for the thought that in a distant land a long-lost father met again with his child.
