In a national spelling contest in America，an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her  36  voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and  37  decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had  38  the word. But instead of lying，she told the truth that she had said the  39  letter—so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the  40 ，the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her
41  . Later，dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty，even when it  42  her the contest. But the fact is that she  43  the biggest contest that day: the contest of her   44  .
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is that we would do if we knew we would never get  45  .This young girl could easily have  46  and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you  47  , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own  48  and character more than the prize from a spelling  49  . Her respect for herself was more important than any   50  others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the  51  she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today  52  what you are tomorrow. Our children will  53  our behaviour much more than our advice. So if we want them to  54  to be honest，we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember，our kids are  55  what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.
