When I was 18 years old, I lived with my parents on a farm.
One morning, my father asked me to drive him into the town, about 18 miles away, for he would attend a meeting there. We were deep in the country, so I would always look forward to going to the town. And I had just learned to drive, so I        with pleasure. First we came to the town. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it parked and promised to pick dad up at 4 pm. Because I have a few        to spend, I decided to go to the      . However, I became so interested in the films that I forgot the      . When the last film finished, it was 6 pm.
I was afraid that dad would be         and never let me drive again, so I drove back       to meet dad and made an excuse for being late. Then dad caught me in the lie. I’ll never forget       he said to me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with you, but with myself. I’ve       because there must be something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. I’m going to       home now and think seriously about it.”
Dad began walking along the road. I begged all the way, telling him how sorry I was. I drove behind him for 18 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most       lesson. I have never lied to him ever since.
