(C)
Blue Ocean Aquarium(蓝色海洋水族馆) is a great place for families to take a holiday. Children love to see the sea animals and watch films about sharks in it.
Last Saturday morning, Mr Jackson took his wife and two little sons to the aquarium. At the ticket office, he asked, "How much shall I pay to get in?" The woman at the ticket office answered, "The price is 20 dollars for each adult(成年人) or any kid older than five. We let kids in free(免费) if they are five or younger. How old are your kids?" Mr Jackson said, "The older one is six and the younger one is three. I think I must buy three tickets." The woman was surprised. She said, "Sir, don't you want to save 20 dollars? If you tell me your older son is five, I won't know the difference." Mr Jackson said with a smile, "Yes, that sounds right, but my kids will know the difference."

Today I feel much better. I want to write down what happened last Saturday.
I borrowed a beautiful picture book from my classmate Tom. But when I was reading it at home, I spilled some juice on it. I was very scared. I thought about hiding the book, but then I remembered my teacher said honesty is important.
So on Monday, I took the dirty book to Tom and told him the truth. I said sorry to him. Tom was a little sad, but he forgave me. Later I bought him a new book.
I learned that being honest makes you feel good inside. Even if you make a mistake, telling the truth is always the right thing to do.
