  I grew up in a small town in SpainOne morning when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him into a village called Mijas, about 18 miles away, if I took the car in to be serviced(維修)at a nearby garage(修配廠)Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happilyI drove Dad into Mijas and made sure to pick him up at 4 p. m, then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the carBecause there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garageHowever, when the last movie had finished, I was two hours late!

  I knew Dad would be angryIf he knew what I did, he would never let me drive againSo when I drove up to the place where we'd planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I'd come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs

  “I'm terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie(說謊)to me, Jason.”

  “What do you mean, Dad?I'm telling the truth.”

  “I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the carSo I know there were no problems with the carI'm angry, not with you but with myselfYou see, I've failed as a fatherI'm going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”

  “But Dad, it's 18 miles to homeIt's darkYou can't walk home.”
