Last weekend I went fishing with my cousins by a river, where was two miles away from my home by bike. When we were about to return to home, we found one of our bike lost. We were really nervous then. Asking about the lost bike, nobody tell the truth except me. And to my surprise, my parents didn't scold me. Instead, they said I was a honest boy. I have benefited great from my family rules. I'm not the best at school work, but my classmates trust myself and nearly everyone is willing make friends with me. It helps me know better about “Honesty is the best policy.”
